Watermelon and ginger cooler: Fever-Tree

Ingredients

150ml Vodka
50ml Cointreau or Grand Marnier
1/2 watermelon (deseeded)
2 limes, cut into quarters
800ml Fever-Tree Ginger Ale
Mint sprigs, to garnish

Method

Fill a pitcher three-quarters full with ice cubes. Pour over the vodka and Cointreau or Grand Marnier.

Cut a few cubes of the watermelon and set aside for a garnish. Chop the rest into wedges and add these to the pitcher.

Squeeze over the lime quarters, then drop them into the pitcher. Top up with the ginger ale. Garnish with the watermelon cubes and mint sprigs.

** If you have time, leave the watermelon cubes soaking in the spirits for 1 hour before preparing the rest of the cocktail and serving. This will add more colour and flavour to your final drink. Makes 4 large drinks in a 2-litre pitcher
