re: What are you drinking on the 4th?

I've been making this punch of sorts for last couple summers. It involves a little forethought but is worth it. You cut up a watermelon (a small to medium size is fine) and one jalapeno. Then steep this in a handle of tequila for 5 days or however long you have in the fridge.

Strain and mix with say a cup of simple syrup and a cup of lime juice (or you could just use 2 cups of say limeaid). Add ice and serve. Its become my preferred eye opener. Less heavy than a bloody with the same flavors going on.
