I am a bit of a watermelon queen.
(audience clapping)
Watermelon palooza.
Watermelon Tyrannosaurus rex.
Watermelon sliced sorbet sandwiches.
Watermelon kitties.
(audience clapping)
Supposedly this product is going to turn my favorite fruit,
the watermelon, into a keg.
(upbeat music)
One large watermelon, one large sharp knife,
and a large bowl.
Oh it also works great with pumpkins too.
I think I'm gonna try this with some watermelon margaritas.
Step one, if the watermelon does not stand upright,
slice about a third of an inch off the bottom
to keep it upright.
This guy kinda stands on his own.
Cut about the top half inch off and create a lid.
Scoop and clean out all of the innards and set aside,
leaving about two inches at the bottom
to help prevent leaking.
Using the included coring tool,
make a hole two to three inches
above the bottom of the watermelon.
Insert the faucet through the hole in the watermelon
and ensure the silicon seal is on the outside.
Replace and tighten the locking nut into the shank.
(blender whirring)
It did say that we shouldn't make anything too pulpy,
otherwise it was gonna clog the tap,
so I am going to strain it.
Lime juice, a bunch of tequila.
Fill the watermelon with your drink of choice.
Place the watermelon on the edge of a table or a small bowl.
So it's the moment of truth.
We're gonna see if it pours.
Pull the handle forward to dispense.
Push the handle back to stop dispensing.
It's a little slow.
Let's see how it taste.
See, I've never met a watermelon margarita
that I didn't like.
You know me and the watermelons.
We got way back.
Oh we're not doing margaritas.
There's no tequila.
I just figured out what you're doing.
Tell them.
We're making watermelon Aperol spritzes.
(screaming)
(audience laughing)
So, because I love this little guy so much,
do you wanna fill 'em up?
We're gonna fill him up with Prosecco.
Take his little head off.
We're gonna fill him up. Take your little head off.
We're gonna fill him up with a bottle of Prosecco.
Yes.
Yeah right?
So fun.
And so in a blender I blended up a cup of,
You know what Prosecco is, guys?
Affordable champaign.
(audience laughing)
So in the blender
I blended up about a cup of the watermelon
that I scooped up and about a cup of Aperol,
and then I just blended it up
and then it fills one of these square ice cube trays
just about to make,
I think this is,
That's a lot of higher math, Jeanette,
let's just say here's what they look like.
Here's what they look like.
So then there's some wine glasses over there.
Let's fill some with the ice cubes.
I'll put the cubes in.
Watermelon cubes.
I know, this keg was a very very fun little guy.
And then we can tap our keg with the Prosecco.
Better tap a keg.
(audience clapping)
Really fun.
It's like a different twist on the Aperol Spritz
'cause as it melts
that Aperol flavor's really gonna get in there.
So you blended,
I'm just trying to be clear,
you blended Aperol, which is a bitter liqueur,
it's like Campari but like the lady Campari.
A little more ladylike Campari.
So you took some of the bitter liqueur,
with the puree that you strained?
Did you strain? Yeah.
I didn't strain it no, I just threw it straight in.
So threw the puree with the Aperol into the doodad
and then you just top it with the Prosecco.
A little bit of Prosecco.
The only thing is, it's a little slow.
It is a tad bit slow.
But again, we're just sipping cocktails.
We're being patient.
Here you go.
It's cute but you know, it is slow.
As people drink these,
they're gonna be over at the watermelon going,
(audience laughing)
If you give it a little tip
it comes out a little bit faster.
Here's a tip. Here's the tip.
Fill that sucker all the way up to the top.
And there we go.
(audience clapping)
