booze summertime feels drunken watermelon
Want something that is refreshing and will get you surprisingly drunk?
You need 2 watermelons (seedless)
Soju
Limes
Ginger liqueur ( Do not substitute this. If you don't have any, opt out then)
Few sprigs of fresh mint
2-4 ice cube trays
Simple Syrup
If you want to make it a little girly you can add a splash of Sprite or Ginger ale. Maybe some maraschino cherries for garnish.
Take 1 watermelon and cut a hole in the top and scoop out everything, leaving it completely hallow (make sure not to rupture the walls) and also cut a small slice out of the bottom to use as your base. The second watermelon you want to just cut it up, remove the rind and add to the other watermelon flesh to removed. Blend all of that up and then pour through a strainer. Once you've blended and drained all of your watermelon juice. You will skim the foam off. Then pour some watermelon juice into your ice trays and freeze for later.
Now you will pour the watermelon juice back into the hallowed out watermelon about half way. 1-2 oz of ginger liqueur (Pour in 1 oz first, taste and add the second ounce if you want a more intense ginger flavor). You want about 2-3 leaves of mint, roughly chop that up and toss it in. Now add the SOJU, I like to start with 4 bottles (or more...just don't fill to the top, we still need a little room). Mix and cover it up and chill in the fridge at least 1-3 hrs in advance!
Just before serving add your watermelon ice cubes.Take a half of a fresh lime (Its very important that its fresh!) and squeez into the watermelon juice. (Optional: You can add a splash of sprite of ginger ale if you want something a little bubbly. I suggest you complete the recipe first. Then pour a glass and add some Sprite/Ginger Ale to it and see if that is how you like it). Top off with some more watermelon juice and at this point I add a little simple syrup to taste and stir.

1 watermelon
Vodka or Patron Silver Tequila
Triple Sec or Cointreau
Lime
Cut up one watermelon into 1 inch thick wedges (I quarter mine) and place inside of a large plastic container with a lid. You will pour 1-3 cups of alcohol of choice, 1/4 -1/2 cup of Triple Sec or Cointreau over the watermelon. Now, you cover it up and put it into the fridge to chill for a few hours (If the watermelon isn't very sweet I will add about 1/2 simple syrup). Just before serving have some lime slices ready and couarse sea-salt flakes.
I take a slice, squeeze some lime juice over and sprinkle sea-salt before I take a bite. Its like taking a shot of tequila. If you go the Vodka route, I squeeze lime juice over it and don't bother with the salt (you can sprinkle coarse/raw sugar instead if you like).

Vodka (I prefer Reyka - those Nords know how to make Vodka)
Gummy Bears (Don't get the generic crap, you want Haribo Gummi Bears - why? It holds up a lot better I find)
Take two large rectangle plastic containers, divide your large bag of gummies into either one. Now, you want to fill each with enough vodka to barely cover your gummies. Allow this to soak for 2-3 days in the fridge. Take your gummies out to add some more vodka - a little less than what you added before and cover again. This will sit in the fridge for another 2-3 days. Now, lets open them up and take a look. They should be doubled in size. Pour out any excess vodka and allow to chill back in the fridge until ready to serve. Once the soaking process has finished, I like to toss mine in the freezer for 2 min or so before serving and add into shots for an added kick.

Simple Syrup
2 part Sugar (I use raw sugar)
1 part Water (bottled or filtered)
Why bottled water? Because tap water its treated with chemicals and will give also flavor your syrup. So, I bring my water to a boil and then add my sugar. I stir the pot until everything is dissolved and allow to boil without stirring for about 15 mins. Then, I remove it from the heat to completely cool down before pouring it into a glass bottle.
