WATERMELON MEZCAL POPS
These spiked watermelon ice pops will keep you cool all summer long; just throw everything in a blender, pour into molds and freeze. With just the right amount of smoky mezcal and a hint of lime juice, they are as refreshing as they are fun to eat. Feel free to use orange juice instead of mezcal for a non-alcoholic version.

Steps:
- Blend the watermelon, mezcal, lime juice and sugar in a blender on high until very smooth and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Give the mixture a good stir with a large spoon or rubber spatula to make sure most of the foam has subsided, then pour into six 4-ounce ice-pop molds. Freeze until solid, at least 8 hours and preferably overnight.
- The ice pops will keep in the freezer up to 2 weeks. Right before serving, run them under hot water for 5 to 10 seconds to make them easier to unmold.
SPIKED WATERMELON
Perhaps I have been living in a cave for the past 40+ years because I never had a *spiked watermelon* until recently so I am posting this for those of you who like me have never heard of spiking a watermelon. It is delicious. VERY refreshing. Yummy, Yummy!

Steps:
- Cut a hole in the top of the watermelon, wide and deep enough to insert a funnel.
- Pour as much vodka through the funnel as can be absorbed (1/2 cup to 1 cup), remove the funnel and replace the watermelon plug, Let sit for 4 hours and again, pour is as much vodka as can be absorbed, Repeat the process until all the vodka has been absorbed, (eventually all the vodka WILL be absorbed).
- Refrigerate and serve well chilled.
- When it's time slice it up and enjoy.
- NOTES: You can also use a food injector, this works well or you can cut a hole big enough to hold the neck of a fifth of vodka, allow it to sit 6-12 hours, 24 being better, serve with the bottle sticking out of the watermelon, You can experiment with liquors, I have heard rum works well too.
