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!

Shots, Shots, Shots, Shots - Everybody!!!

Our drinks are sexy & we know it! So, we want to take you back to circa 1999, when house parties were cool, and boy bands were all the rage... and we in the Bartender2Go lab, wore stonewashed jeans with plaid oversized button downs, and our hats to the back (evidence has been destroyed!)

Try one our sexy shooters, cue your favorite 90's song, invite over your neighbors and have the ultimate block party! For inspiration, try one of our favorite shots!!!

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!
