Bottle/Tap: Bottle
When I was a kid I used to love to get Ring Pops; remember those things? My favorite was the cherry flavor because they were the sweetest ones. Second to the cherry was the watermelon flavor.

Watermelon and Apple Margarita

For me, summertime conjures thoughts of watermelon. This fruit is a favorite among the ages. What is more fun for a child than eating watermelon off the rind, allowing the juice to drip down your chin, and getting to spit the seeds?
As an adult, I still enjoy the taste of watermelon. With watermelon season coming to an end, I purchased one to savor the
