Review

Light, refreshing and all too quaffable. Bitter liqueur adds depth of flavour to a Watermelon Martini.

Not really a vodka fan - think this would carry well with a good gin?

Very pleasant. For anyone wishing to use their own juiced watermelon, we used 30ml which worked very nicely for us.

I used a 10 x 8, 4 cm thick wedge of watermelon and it mostly tasted like it. Very sweet, the campari was subtle and it went down too easy.

I love this cocktail. I used a 1/16 wedge as specified in other cocktails that use fresh watermelon. I muddled it before adding the rest of the ingredients. I've made it twice now and each time I've forgotten to add the orange bitters. Oh dear, I'll just have to make it again... (Miami Martini)

Great use of spare watermelon but ideally should add some more precise measurement to the fruit.
