Hey everyone, TGIF! So this week our featured cocktail is actually a beer, but a very in season one at that. As everyone is still nursing their hangovers from the fourth of July, others would rather choose to take "The Hair of The Dog" path. Well, this refreshing beer is a great way to do so!

Hell-Or-High-Watermelon is a wheat beer that is very light in its looks and its taste. The first sip you take leaves you feeling like you just bit into a fresh piece of watermelon, but without the seeds! Not much to complain about there, right? It's crisp and refreshing while not being as filling as a regular beer, which leaves you plenty of room to drink more!

This beer can be found at The Writing Room on the Upper East Side, The Well in Williamsburg, or even as a six pack at your local bodega.

Today's featured cocktail comes to us from Wisconsin, where a Cocktails & Curiosities fan spotted Junior Johnson's Midnight Moonshine at a local liquor store. We admit we haven't tasted the 'shine, but we're fascinated nonetheless. We hope a C & C fan who has tried the concoction will send us a review.

Here's what we know from the website:

"Junior Johnson’s Midnight Moon follows the Johnson family’s moonshine recipe. Every batch is handcrafted in very small batches, made from corn and born in a copper still. Midnight Moon is triple distilled to deliver an ultra-smooth, clean-tasting spirit that is often preferred over the world’s best vodkas."

In addition to plain 'shine, the Johnson family also infuses their moonshine with fruit: "Apple Pie, Cherry, Strawberry, Blueberry & Cranberry age in the mason jar for several weeks, to ensure each bottle reaches the peak of all-natural fruit flavor before it leaves the distillery."

If you've sampled Junior Johnson's Midnight Moonshine, please drop us a line. We'd love to hear your opinion. You can comment below or on our Cocktails & Curiosities Facebook page.
