CharlieMac Sunday Drink Specials

Time for Weekend Fun and time to relax. Some people relax by sitting and doing nothing, and other like to keep relaxed by doing things. Which kind of person are you? Well, why not try some At Home Bartending? That way you can work on making yourself a drink and then sit down to enjoy it. Here are a few recipes that may take some work, but are totally worth it in the end.

2 tbs Granulated Sugar
¼ cup Maraschino Liqueur (Luxardo Recommended)
4x 12oz Bottle White Beer (ex. Hoegaarden, chilled)

Blend up the watermelon and strain so you have no pulp in your watermelon juice. Add the sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved and chill the mixture for about an hour and a half.

Stir the concoction gently to mix the ingredients together and then pour into a glass, or several glasses if you feel like sharing.
