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.This is a great served icy cold on a hot day or taken in a Thermos to a picnic. Kids will take to this soupy drink so don't leave it unattended. If you want to make a version for them, use grenadine or just the melon. I've tried all sorts of melons for this - as long as they are ripe and sweet it doesn't really matter which you use.

1 ripe Charentais or rock melon, peeled and seeded
1 ripe ogen or honeydew melon, peeled and seeded
2-3tbsp Campari
Cut about 1/5 of the melon into small 1/2cm dice. Blend the rest of the melon until smooth with the Campari and strain through a sieve. Mix the liquid melon with the diced melon and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until ice cold, or place in the freezer for an hour or so and serve slightly slushy.
