Prep time: 10 minutes, plus overnight freezing

Ingredients
400g diced, seedless watermelon (about ¼ large melon)
50g caster sugar
150ml gin or vodka
Method
Check there are no pips remaining in the melon, then place in a blender with the sugar and whizz until smooth.
Stir in the gin or vodka.
As the mixture settles it will separate out into layers, which can look attractive. Or you can minimise the effect by passing the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the pulp, if you wish.
Pour into eight moulds and freeze overnight until firm.
