WATERMELON BEER
I don't even like beer, but I think I could get into this. The recipe calls for Maraschino liqueur. It's a relatively dry liqueur with a subtle bitter-almond flavor and can be found at any well-stocked liquor store. I'm certain the Maraschino liqueur contributes a great deal to this drink, but because the recipe uses so little of the liqueur, I don't see why it couldn't be replaced with maraschino cherry juice. A slighly altered recipe from Chow. Chilled time not included.

Steps:
- Set a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl; set aside.
- Place the watermelon in a blender and blend until liquified, about 1 minute. Pour through the strainer into the bowl and scrape a rubber spatula against the inside surface of the strainer to push the juice through until only pulp remains. Discard the pulp and set the strainer back over the bowl. (You should have about 3 cups of juice).
- Add the sugar to the juice and stir until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 1/2 hours or until ready to use.
- When ready to serve, add the maraschino liqueur and beer and stir gently to combine.
WATERMELON GINGER BEER
The recipe for this batch drink, from Nicole Taylor's book, "Watermelon and Red Birds," includes the juice from a red-fleshed watermelon, ideally from one with seeds. (They can be hard to find; seedless melons work too.) If you own a juicer, proceed with the seeds and all and don't worry about straining. Watermelon is over 90 percent water and is a nutrient-dense food. This drink can serve as an everyday accompaniment at breakfast, lunch, dinner or with a snack.

Steps:
- Divide the fennel fronds, if using, between two ice cube trays. Fill with filtered water and freeze until solid, 4 to 8 hours.
- Meanwhile, place the watermelon in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape the sides of the blender or food processor using a rubber spatula and blend again.
- Place a fine metal sieve over a large bowl and strain the pureed watermelon through the sieve. (This should yield 2 to 3 cups of juice). Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve; it will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To serve, fill four highball glasses or rocks glasses with the ice cubes. Stir the watermelon juice and add ½ cup to each glass. Top off with ½ cup ginger beer.

Steps:
- Rinse the outer rind of the watermelon thoroughly, and pat dry. Set the watermelon in a position so it will not roll over. Press the tip of a funnel through the rind of the melon. If using a plastic funnel, you may need to cut a hole.
- Situate the melon on a towel in the bottom of the refrigerator or on the counter. Pour rum into the funnel a little at a time, refilling as it seeps into the melon. I start the afternoon before, since we usually leave to go to events in the morning. Allow the melon to marinate at least a few hours, before removing the funnel. Slice just before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right watermelon: Select a ripe, juicy watermelon with a deep red color and a firm rind. Avoid watermelons with bruises or soft spots.
- Use a clean knife and cutting board: This will help to prevent contamination and ensure that your beer is safe to drink.
- Sterilize your equipment: Before you begin brewing, sterilize all of your equipment with a sanitizing solution. This will help to prevent bacteria from spoiling your beer.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Watermelon beer is a relatively easy beer to make, but it is important to follow the recipe carefully to ensure that it turns out well.
- Be patient: Watermelon beer takes some time to ferment and condition. Be patient and allow the beer to fully mature before drinking it.
Conclusion:
Watermelon beer is a refreshing and flavorful summer brew that is perfect for parties and gatherings. It is also a relatively easy beer to make, making it a great choice for beginner brewers. With a little planning and patience, you can enjoy delicious watermelon beer in no time.
