If you are throwing a party for the Fourth of July, consider making cocktails with watermelon.

Watermelon is so naturally sweet, you don’t have to add another sweetener.

They also make a pretty, festive offerings for your guests.

Here are two drinks to try.

Vodka and Watermelon Cooler

Yield: Makes 6 drinks
3 pounds watermelon, rind and seedsdiscarded and the flesh cut into pieces,plus thin slices of watermelon for garnish
1/2 cup vodka
1/4 cup Triple Sec
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

In a blender purée the watermelon pieces and strain the purée through a very fine sieve set over a pitcher, discarding the solids. (There should be about 2-1/3 cups juice). Stir in the vodka, the Triple Sec, and the lime juice, pour the cooler into long-stemmed glasses filled with ice cubes, and garnish each drink with a watermelon slice.
