Cocktail Recipes

Introducing the “Hold the Rind” Cocktail

Early last week, we launched our third Summer Cocktail Series Recipe – a Watermelon Cucumber Cocktail served in a Watermelon Keg. The recipe was phenomenal, but we didn’t have a name. So we put it out there to you, our faithful fans and readers. We asked you to give it a name, and we got hundreds of awesome suggestions. But we had to pick just one. We put it to a vote, and we found our winner, “Hold the Rind.”

It’s clever, it’s catchy, and it’s memorable. Big thanks to Brian Muolo, the man who penned the name. We’ve got a Watermelon Keg Kit on its way to you now. To the rest of you, our sincerest thanks. We really did have a hard time choosing.

Check out the full recipe and preparation instructions for Hold the Rind below.
