Monday Night Brewing’s Narwater
View this post on Instagram
Consider getting @mondaynight’s new seltzer, Narwater! Narwater Seltzer comes in 3 flavors (Blueberry Raspberry, Mango Guava, Grapefruit Pineapple) & I personally enjoy all of them! A few things you should know about the drinks:
- Made with all real fruit (no artificial colors or flavors)
- Brewed with natural fermentation instead of like other brands which use artificial flavors with diluted high-proof ethanol
- Made with love locally
- Gluten free, only 4.7% ABV, & 95 calories!

Tito + Watermelon

Watermelon + alcohol= all the fun you need.
1. Cut a circle hole at the top of the watermelon.
2. Put your favorite alcohol bottle in the hole. I’m using @titosvodka
3. Let it sit for a few hours so watermelon can absorb the liquor.
4. Cut watermelon & serve
