WATERMELON NEGRONI

A fresh, seasonal take on the classic, the Watermelon Negroni brings a lighter, more playful edge while staying true to the structure that makes a Negroni so iconic.

Juicy watermelon adds a soft, refreshing sweetness that lifts the bitterness of the aperitivo. The result is a clean, elegant and refreshing serve perfectly suited to the longer, brighter evenings while the sun's goes down.
