cooking tips

• To make your watermelon more of a side item slice into thick wedges. For more of a dessert or appetizer cut into cubes.
• Before serving the watermelon tear up fresh leaves of mint and sprinkle over the watermelon.
• The longer you soak your watermelon the more concentrated the liquor will be in the fruit. If you don’t want it to become too adult you can always let it soak for 30 minutes to an hour.
