60ml/4 tbsp red vermouth
Seeds from ½ pomegranate

Details
Serves: 4
Method
Halve the melons lengthwise and scoop out all the seeds. Cut into wedges and remove the skins, then cut across into large bite size pieces.
Using a small sharp knife, cut the peel and pith from the grapefruit. Holding the fruit over a bowl to catch the juice, cut between the grapefruit membranes to release the segments. Set aside the grapefruit segments.
Stir the orange juice and vermouth into the bowl containing the reserved grapefruit juice.
Arrange the melon pieces and grapefruit segments haphazardly on four individual serving dishes. Spoon the mixed juices over the fruit, then scatter the fruit with the pomegranate seeds. Decorate with mint sprigs and serve at once.

Cook’s Tip:- Ugli fruit makes a good substitute for grapefiuit. It is a hybrid of the orange, tangerine and grapefruit, with a yellowy green skin. The skin is looser and easier to peel than that of a grapefruit and the flesh is deliciously sweet and juicy.
