why call it watermelon punch?
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This punch is refreshing and tastes all right. I was expecting the watermelon flavor to star, but it was nearly completely... lost among the pineapple and lemonade flavors. I was disappointed. And I agree with the others that it was too sweet.Read more

Simple and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This punch was quite refreshing. I did not use the simple syrup after reading the comments about it being too sweet and it... turned out perfect. My guests enjoyed it.Read more

Very Very Sweet
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was good but way to sweet. I added plain water and lots of crushed ice and it was alot better. I think I'll try it... again without the simple sugar.Read more

SWEET treat
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Wow! Punch with a punch! This has a great flavor, especially if you like watermelon. Be sure to serve it with crushed ice or... dilute it a bit, as you'll be tempted to drink more than one glass.Read more
