- Cut in half and scoop out the seeds and pips, to be able to scoop out balls with a melon scooper. Do both watermelon and melons. Trying to make equal amounts for each.
- Place these balls in fridge or on covered ice until you make them up.
- With your small skewers or toothpicks stick one of each melon on a stick and one of watermelon on a stick. Another option is to put both on a toothpick for serving.
- Serve on ice in a bowl with sides, but place a cling wrap plastic layer over the ice to prevent it from burning the fruit. The bowl or serving dish should have sides to prevent it from leaking melted ice all over. Decorate and garnish with mint or basil leaves.
- Serve just when needed, otherwise keep in the fridge chilled and covered until served.
