Six Fresh Watermelon Cocktails To Keep Summer Going image 1

Watermelon cocktails shout summer. Here's six of the best drinks using a variety of fresh fruit, watermelon syrup and watermelon liqueur.

The time-saving hack to any watermelon cocktail, and a way to avoid flavourless, out-of-season fruit, is to enjoy the fresh and juicy flavour without all the trouble of cutting up a soccer ball-sized fruit. To do this, you can use MONIN watermelon syrup, which is loaded with those luscious flavours, packaged up in bottle-form.

PURPURINA COCKTAIL
With:
Jalapeno-infused pisco, Monin watermelon syrup, lime juice and egg white.
We say: With a whole measure of watermelon syrup, you may expect this cocktail to be on the sweet side. Instead, it is beautifully balanced with delicate jalapeno heat.

MIAMI MARTINI
With:
Fresh watermelon, vodka, Campari, lemon juice, Monin pure cane sugar syrup and orange bitters.
We say: Light, refreshing and all too quaffable. Campari and orange bitters add depth of flavour and, with a full 20ml of sugar, surprisingly balanced.
