Watermelon Jalapeno Limeade

I know it sounds messed up. My husband really liked it. I kinda liked it. Maybe if I had added the Vodka I would have really liked it but I don't drink so there goes that idea.

Recipe

4 cups of Watermelon
2 limes
2 Jalapenos sliced and seeded
1/4C Squirt (it said Vodka but I say squirt seems kicky enough - I know I live on the edge huh?)

Stick your Watermelon and juice of limes and squirt or vodka into a blender and let er'rip. Then throw in your jalapenos and let it soak for about 30 mins. Take out your jalapenos and serve over ice.

So, I'll say this the jalapenos don't really add heat because you took out the seeds and you're not even eating the jalapenos. It just sort of adds an essence.

Like I said my husband thought it was great I thought it was just okay.

Muddy Lemonade

It sounds boozey doesn't it? It's addictive but not alcoholic. This is inspired by the Alamo Drafthouse. They serve a brown sugar lemonade and after I had it I had to figure it out. Again, this is super easy and so yum.

1 1/2c squeezed lemon juice
1c water
1c brown sugar (I like dark)
1/2tsp vanilla

Here's the thing I like my lemonade more tart than sweet. If you like it more sweet then add up to 1/2c more sugar.
Combine water, vanilla and sugar together to make a simple syrup. You could cook it over the stove slowly stirring and stirring and stirring until the sugar dissolves but why? That's why we have microwaves. Nuke that bad boy for a minute. Stir it up and if the sugar isn't dissolved nuke it another minute.
Then pull out your pitcher add the lemon juice and syrup you just made. Fill it up with about 8 cups of water (more or less depending on how concentrated you like it.
Let it chill.
Pour a glass and then you can chill.
