Living in our Chicago apartments, you’re in a great area to enjoy all the fun and activity that the big city has to offer – but do you know about the big holiday coming up? National Watermelon Day is cause for major celebration all through Chicago and throughout the rest of the United States, too. Are you prepared for the big day on August 3? Read on to find some easy recipes you can make to enjoy National Watermelon Day.
Delicious Adult Beverage Watermelon Slices at Your Apartments in Chicago
Looking to enjoy some casual fun at home with a few friends on National Watermelon Day? Make adult beverage watermelon slices! All you need is a watermelon (sliced into small triangles), 1 cup of tequila, 1/3 cup of triple sec and 1/4 cup of lime juice. Lay the watermelon in a large flat dish, and then add the liquids evenly. Allow it to soak in for about an hour in the refrigerator. To add that extra visual flair, grate some lime zest and sea salt atop the slices before you serve.
Delectable Watermelon “Cake”
Watermelon is already deliciously sweet, and this recipe ramps up the sweet factor even further. You’ll just need a seedless watermelon, whipped topping (in a can), and multi-colored edible sprinkles. Cut the watermelon into small rounds, about 2 inches thick each. Slice the rind off, and trim the edges to create a cake-like circle. Add a layer of whipped topping to the top of the slice, and then sprinkle liberally with the edible sprinkles. Cut into pizza-style triangles and serve! These cakes go fast, so you might just want to make one for everyone.
Refreshing Watermelon/Strawberry Caprese Salad
This sweet Caprese salad requires just 3 cups of cubed watermelon, 2 cups of diced strawberries, 1/2 cup of feta cheese, fresh basil and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Combine everything, and then season with sea salt and pepper. Add basil garnish before serving. This dish is light, delicious, and beautiful to look at.
