A watermelon pyramid is a really refreshing and dramatic treat using a very popular fruit, the watermelon. Grab a juicy watermelon from your local grocery store, chop it up into chunks, build a plated pyramid with the chunks, drizzle lemon juice and lemon rind over the chunks, and there you have it, a treat that everyone will enjoy.

Now for the Adults Only Version, Just sprinkle the mixture with chilled Vodka and Viola, you will have an adults only favourite snack at your backyard get-together during the summer heat…but please be careful and eat the Adults Only Watermelon snack responsibly….enjoy!
