"One of Ina Garten's favorite dinner party moves is to prepare cocktails in big batches to make hosting easier and ensure every guest can enjoy a drink on arrival."
"Garten’s cosmopolitan variation uses watermelon juice instead of cranberry to create a relaxed, summery vibe and a paler pink color, making it less tart than the classic version."
"Instead of using a juicer, Garten presses fresh watermelon through a food mill to create smoother juice that blends seamlessly with alcohol, extracting it from pulp and seeds."
"If fresh watermelon is unavailable, a watermelon-flavored liqueur can be used instead to create a bright summery cocktail any time of the year."
Ina Garten prepares batch cocktails for dinner parties, simplifying hosting. She offers a cosmopolitan recipe that substitutes watermelon juice for cranberry, resulting in a summery drink with a lighter color. Fresh watermelon is pressed through a food mill for smoother juice, allowing seamless blending with other ingredients. If fresh watermelon isn't available, a watermelon-flavored liqueur can be used year-round, preserving the cocktail's vibrant essence and taste.
