Watermelon Jägerbomb Punch
We came up with this crazy cocktail idea at the end of the first ever BOSH! shoot. We had a watermelon, a Galia melon, energy drink, and a bottle of Jägermeister. We put the video live and it had 20 million views within a week! Such an easy cocktail recipe!! Use a really big watermelon and give the outs of the Galia melon a really good scrub before you put it inside. Get the full written recipe in the BOSH! Cookbook.

Before you start
Food processor or stick blender
Prepare the watermelon
- Choose which side will be the bottom of the watermelon; if it doesn’t stand up straight, use a knife to slice a very small sliver off the base
- Once it’s standing upright, cut horizontally across the middle
- Take off the top and keep it for another recipe
- Scoop out all the watermelon flesh and seeds from the bottom half until the inside looks neat
- Transfer the flesh to the liquidiser and blend (or use a stick blender and a bowl), then pour into a large bowl through a sieve to remove any seeds
Prepare the Galia melon
- Scrub the Galia melon with a brush to make sure it’s clean
- Lay it on its side and slice off the top 4cm
- Scoop out the seeds and discard
- Scoop out the melon flesh and transfer it to the liquidiser
- Whizz and then pour through a sieve into the bowl with the watermelon juice
- Save the melon shell, this will act as your shot glass
Time to add the energy drinks
- Pour the energy drinks into the melon juice and stir
- Now pour half the juice mixture into the hollowed-out watermelon
- Carefully place the hollowed-out Galia melon into the middle of the watermelon so that it’s floating in the melon juice
Finish with ice and berries
- Drop ice cubes and berries into the melon juice around the edges
- Pour the Jägermeister into the Galia melon (don’t fill it too much in case it sinks)
- Top up the edges with more melon juice to fill the watermelon bowl (you might have some left over, which you can use to refill later on)
Time to enjoy!
- Take the watermelon to the party, lift out the Galia ‘shot glass’ and drop it back into the watermelon punch bowl in front of all your guests so that the Jägermeister spills into the melon juice
- Wait for the applause
