Halve the melon and remove the seeds. Remove the fruit and chop into pieces. Remove the seeds from the watermelon, and scoop out the fruit using a melon baller. Cut the remaining fruit from the watermelon and chop into pieces. Refrigerate one half of the hollowed watermelon.
Rinse the grapes, trim, remove from the vine, and pat dry. Rinse the apricots, halve, remove the seeds, and cut into wedges. Rine the figs and cut into eighths.
Bring the orange juice, liqueur, lemon juice, and sugar to boil in a pot. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and let cool.
