Time 4h40m

Yield 18 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Two 20- to 24-pound seedless watermelons
1 1/2 cups grenadine
1/2 cup lime juice
One 1-liter bottle silver tequila
6 cups orange juice
Cold seltzer, for serving

Steps:

  • For the bottom keg: Choose the wider of the two watermelons. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of the watermelon's rind (but not into the flesh) so that the watermelon will sit upright. Invert an 8-inch-wide bowl over the top, like a hat. Using the bowl as a guide, score around the circumference of the watermelon with a serrated knife. Remove the bowl and use the scored line as your guide to cut the top off the watermelon. Carve a line between the flesh and rind as far down as you can go and score down the center of the flesh. Use a large serving spoon to scoop out the flesh in two big pieces as best as you can. Slice the scooped flesh into 1-by-7-inch sticks and transfer to a small baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours. (These are your cocktail stirrers.)
  • Bevel the edge of the watermelon with a paring knife, holding it at a 45-degree angle. Place the second watermelon on top to check the fit. Trim the bottom watermelon as needed so the second watermelon rests securely on top.
  • For the top keg: Place the second watermelon in a small bowl to stabilize it, and with a sharp paring knife, carve out a circle in the top to make a lid as you would when carving a jack-o'-lantern. Puree the flesh of this watermelon using an immersion blender or drill technique, explained below.
  • To prepare with an immersion blender: Set the watermelon in the sink (to avoid splashes). Remove the lid and insert the immersion blender into the flesh. Gently push and move the immersion blender down and around in the watermelon to puree the center. As more of the watermelon becomes pureed, move the blender to the sides to puree the flesh, leaving just a thin wall of flesh lining the rind.
  • To prepare with a drill: Fasten one beater from an electric hand mixer to the tip of a drill and tighten the chuck. Set the watermelon in the sink (to avoid splashes) and push the beater into the flesh. Gently push and move the beater down and around in the watermelon to puree the center. As more of the watermelon becomes pureed, move the beater to the sides to puree the flesh, leaving a thin wall of flesh lining the rind.
  • Pour the pureed juice from the watermelon through a fine mesh strainer, discarding any pulp and seeds; you should have 6 to 7 cups of strained juice.
  • Insert a tap into each of the watermelons according to the package directions. Pour the watermelon juice, grenadine, lime juice and 2 cups tequila in the bottom keg. Pour the orange juice and remaining tequila in the top keg. Chill for 2 hours before serving.
  • To serve: Stack the kegs. Fill tall glasses with ice. Pour in equal parts of the orange mixture from the top keg, then the watermelon mixture from the bottom keg and a top-off of cold seltzer. Serve each drink with a frozen watermelon cocktail stirrer.

WATERMELON PUNCH KEG



Watermelon Punch Keg image

Expect guests to do a double take when they see your watermelon with a tap attached -- and to come back for seconds after sampling the spiked punch concealed within.

Categories     beverage

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

One 20- to 25-pound seedless watermelon
One 750-milliliter bottle rose wine
1 1/2 cups orange vodka

Steps:

  • Cut a thin slice from the bottom of the watermelon rind (but not into the flesh) so the watermelon will sit upright. With a sharp knife, carve out a circle in the top of the watermelon to make a lid, as you would when carving a jack-o'-lantern.
  • To prepare with an immersion blender: Set the watermelon in the sink (to avoid splashes). Remove the lid and insert an immersion blender into the flesh. Gently push and move the immersion blender down and around in the watermelon to puree the center. As more of the watermelon becomes pureed, move the blender to the sides to puree almost all of the flesh, leaving a thin wall of flesh lining the rind. Pour the pureed juice out of the watermelon; you should have between 6 and 7 cups.
  • To prepare with a drill: Fasten one beater from an electric hand mixer to the tip of a drill and tighten the chuck. Set the watermelon in the sink (to avoid splashes) and push the beater into the flesh. Gently push and move the beater down and around in the watermelon to puree the center. As more of the watermelon becomes pureed, move the beater to the sides to puree almost all of the flesh, leaving a thin wall of flesh lining the rind. Pour the pureed juice out of the watermelon, and strain, discarding any pulp and seeds; you should have between 6 and 7 cups of strained juice.
  • Insert a tap in the empty watermelon according to the package directions. Pour the watermelon juice, wine and vodka into the watermelon and top with the lid. Refrigerate until the watermelon and punch inside are well chilled, at least 2 hours.

PAINKILLER COCKTAIL KEG



Painkiller Cocktail Keg image

Nothing says festive like a party-ready cocktail dispensed directly from a pineapple!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) light rum
3/4 cup (6 ounces) cream of coconut
3/4 cup (6 ounces) pineapple juice
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (3 ounces) triple sec
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 large pineapple
Pineapple soda, for topping drinks

Steps:

  • Whisk or shake together the rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, triple sec and nutmeg until well combined (see Cook's Note). Chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, cut the stem off the pineapple. Using a pineapple corer, twist into the top of the pineapple but don't cut all the way through to the bottom. Pull out the pineapple rings and reserve for drink garnishes. Use a paring knife to cut away as much of the remaining core in the pineapple as possible. Insert a fruit keg tap into the pineapple following the manufacturer's instructions. Replace the stem on top of the pineapple like a lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Shake the chilled drink vigorously. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into the hollowed-out pineapple.
  • To serve, pour about 1/4 cup of the drink mixture over ice in a glass and top with some pineapple soda. Garnish with a pineapple ring and serve.
