What do fireworks, champagne, & bartenders have in common? They all pop! Pop some sparkly of the U.S. variety & celebrate our nations glory, that is food, freedom, and drinks! To get you in the spirit, we came up with a few pleasers & teasers in the lab! Enjoy, and Happy Independence Day America!

Sour Watermelontini-

3oz Vodka

2oz Watermelon Pucker

Splash of Sour Mix

Mix all of the ingredients in an ice filled martini shaker - strain into a chilled martini glass. Bottoms Up!

The Great Watermelon Bowl

1 cup Vodka

4 oz. Triple Sec

4 oz. Watermelon Liqueur

2  750ml bottles of Sparkling Wine or Champagne

2 Cups Watermelon Juice

2 Cups of White Cranberry Juice

Slice a medium sized Watermelon in half, scoop out the center & set it aside. Try to preserve any watermelon juice from the melon for mixing.

In a picture, combine vodka, triple sec, watermelon liqueur, champagne or sparkling wine, watermelon juice, white cranberry juice. Mix well. Fill watermelon with ice, & pour the mixture in the “watermelon bowl”. Add slices/chunks of watermelon for garnish.  To keep the bowl from sliding, before filling it, flatten it a little by cutting a small slice of it on the bottom. Be careful not to put a hole in it!

There's Strange Fruit In My Martini

Lychees are amazing! Yes, they look a little weird after they have been peeled & seeded...like eyeballs or something. But they are soooooo good. Start with a can of lychees. Pour the juice in glass. Lay the fruit in a freezer safe container & freeze them. These will become your garnish. Lychees are much better to handle when frozen!!! And they look better!
