__________
‘Merican Melon
Total time (if served fresh): 10 minutes
Total time (if served frozen) 1-2 hours
Yield: 6 drinks
Ingredients:
ONEHOPE Sparkling Brut
1 small watermelon
Directions:
Cut your watermelon in half lengthwise.
Cut a 1″ slice from one of your halves and cut into 6 small triangles (these will be your garnish).
Using a melon baller, scoop multiple spheres out of your watermelon until you have used up the remainder of your melon. If frozen melon balls are desired, place on a baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours.
Place 3-6 melon balls in each glass and top with ONEHOPE Sparkling Brut.

‘Merican Mojito
Total time: 5 minutes
Yield: 2 drinks
Ingredients:

4 oz. white rum
2 tsp. sugar
2 oz. fresh lime juice
1 cup mixed berries (we used blackberries and raspberries)
10 mint leaves (a few more for garnish)
Ice
Directions:
Combine mint, sugar and berries in a glass and muddle together.
Add rum, lime juice and ice and shake vigorously in a cocktail shaker.

Patriotic Pops
Total time: 1 hour
Yield: 6 drinks
Ingredients:
ONEHOPE Sparkling Brut
2 cups frozen blueberries
2 cups frozen raspberries
2 cups lemonade
2 cups water
Directions:
Blend blueberries in a blender or food processor until an even consistency is reached. Add water slowly to the blender to help reach desired consistency. Pour blueberry mixture into a bowl.
Repeat step 1 with raspberries.
In a popsicle mold, pour your raspberry mixture into each mold until 1/3 of the mold is full. Freeze your first layer. Note: we used this mold to make the freezing process super quick (each layer froze in 5-7 minutes).
Once raspberry layer is frozen, repeat with your lemonade and blueberry mixture.
When popsicles are completely frozen, remove from the mold and place in a wine glass.
Top with ONEHOPE Sparkling Brut.
