Method
The watermelon will be the “bowl” where you will serve the fruit punch. For this reason, you should cut the watermelon carefully, so to not create any cracks.
- Set the watermelon horizontally onto your working surface and cut the one edge. Remove the lid that you cut.
- With a spoon, remove the flesh of the watermelon until you reach the white part. Put the flesh into a bowl and try to remove as many seeds as you can.
- In a blender, beat the flesh of the watermelon in batches until it becomes a juice. Transfer to a jug.
- In a blender, beat the orange juice with the basil leaves until the leaves are dissolved. Transfer to the jug with the watermelon juice.
- Add the cider to the jug, stir with a serving spoon, and fill the watermelon.
- Serve into glasses with ice, basil leaves, and orange slices.
