Cherry and watermelon mimosas

Method

1. Step 1

   Bring the cherries, sugar, vanilla and ⅓ cup (80ml) water to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 mins or until sugar dissolves. Cook, without stirring, for 3 mins or until cherries are tender and syrup thickens. Set aside to cool.

2. Step 2

   Place cherry mixture in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a jug and place in the fridge to chill.

3. Step 3

   Meanwhile, place the chopped watermelon in a clean blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a large jug. Discard the solids. Place in the fridge to chill.

4. Step 4

   Divide cherry puree among serving glasses. Top with watermelon juice, liqueur and rosé. Serve with the watermelon wedges and ice.
