Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Serves 4

Watermelons provide loads of options for cocktail creativity; they are delicious and refreshing and the flesh can be easily juiced. For this recipe, take a watermelon and cut a lid from one of the poles, rather in the mode of a pumpkin. Hollow out the insides and push the flesh through a sieve. Take some of the resultant juice and mix with an equivalent quantity of caster sugar. The rest of the juice can be blended with fresh pineapple chunks and ice and served as a large non-alcoholic slushy in the hollowed watermelon.

150ml Arette Blanco tequila or any 100% agave tequila
20ml fresh lemon juice
25ml watermelon syrup

Shake all ingredients hard over ice, and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a watermelon wedge.
