Prep Time

4 hours

A Canadian Prairie term for a mixed fruit and spirit cocktail.

Watermelon, strawberries, lime, etc. infused with an assortment of spirits. Often assembled and served in a large punch bowl or jug.

This is a lower-than-usual alcohol recipe, but you can still taste all the flavour.

Ingredients

16oz Ginger Berry Mixer (a full bottle)
4oz gin (or non-alc alternative)
4oz vodka
4oz rum
4 cups of diced, seedless watermelon (1” squares)
4 cups frozen strawberries (about 4 per cup)
1 lime, cut into slices
1L sparkling water

Directions

Get all your watermelon peeled and diced. Put it in a big ziplock bag. Add the spirits to the bag, seal it up, and leave it in the fridge for at least 3 hours or better yet, overnight.
Divide the spirit-infused fruit among 8 tall glasses (it works out to be just over 1oz of alcohol per cup). Use a slotted spoon to scoop out the fruit which will make it easier to divide evenly.
Add 2oz of Ginger Berry Mixer into each glass and stir.
Add 4 frozen strawberries per cup.
Top with sparkling water.
Pile in as much ice as you can.
Garnish with a slice of lime and add additional slices into glasses.
