• 1 refrigerate watermelon and champagne of your choice (we prefer sweet champagne) overnight.
• 2 remove watermelon from the fridge and slice in half. scoop the meat into a large bowl.
• 3 place the watermelon flesh into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. if there is not enough room, blend a portion at a time. strain the watermelon puree through a wire strainer (i use a metal tea strainer) into a see-through container.
