Watermelon High Sea
Its finally watermelon szn, so naturally we’re going to make a drink with it 🍉
This recipe combines a couple of my favorite things: gin, honey, basil, watermelon with an addition of a bitter aperitif in Select and a pinch of smoked sea salt just to bring out more of the fruity flavors in this cocktail. Of course this is going to be served over crushed ice which will let the drink evolve a bit as you drink it. As @likeablecocktails would say… this is a #patiopounder.
ingredients:
1½ oz London Dry Gin
1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
¾ oz Watermelon Juice
¾ oz Select Aperitivo
½ oz Honey Syrup
5 Chunks Watermelon
5 Leaves Sweet Basil
Smoked Sea Salt
Watermelon + Honey Comb Cubes (Garnish)
instructions:
Combine all ingredients (except garnishes) into a shaking tin with ice. Muddle, shake, strain and pour over crushed ice Garnish with a watermelon wedge and a large, fresh bunch of basil. Serve and enjoy
