IF you have patience and IF you enjoy OUZO, then do we have a cocktail for you! It may have a lot of instruction, however it's worth it. And no, this is not red, white or blue but OUZO lovers need some love back!

OUZO SPRITZ with PICKELED WATERMELON RIND
If you're the type who doesn't do ordinary, then this is the cocktail for you. The star is an anise-flavored Greek spirit called ouzo, which turns milky when mixed with water. A garnish of pickled watermelon rind really makes this cocktail unique.

PICKLED WATERMELON RIND:
1 small watermelon
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
6 black peppercorns
1 cinnamon stick
1 whole star anise

OUZO SPRITZ:
Ice, for serving
4 ounces ouzo
Juice of 2 lemons
2 egg whites
1 to 2 tablespoons watermelon pickling liquid
Seltzer water, for serving
Mint sprigs, for serving

DIRECTIONS:
For the PICKELED WATERMELON RIND:
-Slice off each end of the watermelon and discard.
-Stand the watermelon up and begin trimming the thin green layer off, leaving the white pith layer on the watermelon. Depending on the size, slice the watermelon in half widthwise so it is easier to work with.
-Trim the white rind off in the same way the green rind was removed. When all the white rind has been removed, trim each piece into a 1-by-6-inch plank.
-Trim any remaining pink parts off.
-Wedge as many planks as you can into a 32-ounce wide-mouthed glass jar with lid. Discard the rest.
-Combine the cider vinegar, 1 cup water, sugar, salt and aromatics in a saucepot over high heat and bring to a boil.
-Whisk to dissolve the sugar, then pour over the rinds while hot.
-Allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
-Refrigerate overnight before using. The rinds will keep up to 1 month in the refrigerator.
For the OUZO SPRITZ:
-Fill 2 lowball glasses with ice.
-Place the ouzo, lemon juice, egg whites and pickling liquid in a cocktail shaker without ice.
-Vigorously shake to froth the egg whites, then strain into the glasses.
-Top with seltzer and garnish with a spear of pickled watermelon rind and a sprig of mint.

Summer wouldn't be the same without watermelon!

WATERMELON LIME COCKTAIL - Watermelon “ice cubes” and fresh lime juice are the stars of this simple and refreshing cocktail. Perfect for light dinner drinks and sweet enough to be considered dessert.

INGREDIENTS:
1 small seedless watermelon
2 medium limes*
2 shots white rum (Bacardi)
2 Tbsp sugar
1 liter club soda

INSTRUCTIONS:
-Slice 3/4 of a seedless watermelon into cubes, reserving one quarter for juice, and place in a bag and freeze for several hours or preferably overnight.
-In a strainer over a bowl, press the remaining chunks of fresh watermelon with a muddler or flat surface until most of the juice is extracted.
-Slice limes into quarters and squeeze the juice of one fruit into each serving glass, throwing the limes into the glass along with it. (Only use half of a lime instead of 2 medium limes if you prefer a drink that’s not as tart.)
-Add 1 tbsp sugar and one shot (2 Tbsp // 30 ml) of white rum to each serving glass and muddle until well mixed.
-Fill to the brim with watermelon ice cubes, add a healthy splash of watermelon juice (about 1/4 cup), and top off with club soda.
-Stir, garnish with lime wedge, and serve with a straw.
