Saturday: Watermelon Raspberry Punch

The basic recipe for this is from Let the Flames Begin, my change was adding the wine. :-)

2 cups seeded watermelon chunks
1/2 package frozen raspberries
1 inch of ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
juice of 1 lime
sugar to taste
spring water
white wine (we used pino grigio, but a riesling would probably work too)

Blend the fruit, ginger and sugar. Strain out the damn raspberry seeds. Assemble the drinks in proportion: 3 oz fruit puree, 3 oz soda water, 2 oz wine.

There's not enough wine in these things to do any real harm, but it is a nice addition to the basic punch in terms of flavor.
