Take your summer party to fancy new heights with these super awesome Jell-o shots!

This really couldn't be any easier...Slice both ends off of a large watermelon and shave off the rind so you're left with a tall cylinder. Place it on a cake stand and frost the sides with frozen Cool Whip or coconut whipped cream topping. Top with berries and mint leaves. Super easy (and impressive) summertime dessert.

These are so much fun! Fill a popsicle mould with blended watermelon and tiny chocolate chips (for the seeds), leaving a bit of space on top for the rind. Set in the freezer for a couple of hours. Then, layer in some coconut milk mixed with honey...then freeze, then...add a layer of blended kiwi and honey. Freeze for 5-6 hours or overnight. Then...eat!

How about instead of watering down your punch bowl with bland, boring ice cubes, you pop in a few of these "watermelon cubes"? Simply freeze perfect cubes of watermelon overnight and then dump into your punch bowl, or use as summery cocktail cubes.

Watermelon kegs are blowing up! They're super impressive and will infuse your punch with the subtle taste of watermelon-goodness. First, cut both ends off of a large watermelon, then hollow it out. Drill a hole about 6 inches above the bottom using an apple corer. Then, stick the spout or (spigot) into the hole, and dispense!

Infused water is all the rage these days. Impress your guests with this uber simple watermelon-infused water recipe. Add a cup of watermelon and 3 sprigs of bruised basil to a pitcher of spring water. Let sit in the fridge for a few hours and serve! Perfect for summer.

What do you get when you cross a bottle of tequila with a watermelon? Watermelon Tequila Pops! Duh! Soak watermelon slices in tequila and lime juice, the freeze. The tequila will make it's way into the matrix of the watermelon so every lick will be boozy.

What makes this recipe so brilliant? There's only two ingredients! First, blend the watermelon with some honey (if you want it really sweet) and then strain excess liquid through a cheesecloth. Once there's no more liquid dripping off, transfer the watermelon pulp to a plastic wrap-lined baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 hours at 170 degrees fahrenheit. Remove from the oven and let cool. Voila!

Have you ever heard of such a thing?! How cute! Combine 2 cups of fresh watermelon juice, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 3 1/2 cups sugar and one pouch of pectin. Make this the same way you would make any other jelly. This would be great spread on some wonder bread toast or in a sandwich cookie. So unique!
