Make 1 liter of simple syrup by adding 4 ¼ cups of white sugar to 4 ¼ cups warm water. Stir until sugar is dissolved and set aside to cool. Mix 14 cups pureed watermelon together with 7 cups pureed cucumber (save the watermelon rind for garnishes), and then combine the melon/cucumber puree with the simple syrup. Yield will be roughly 2 liters.

Directions:

In a large punch bowl, combine the Bacardi Silver Rum and the Ajax syrup and stir. Add ice to individual glasses and fill glasses three-quarters of the way with punch. Top off the glass with chilled sparkling wine and stir quickly. Garnish with watermelon spear and mint sprig.
