Summer and watermelon go together. How many summer barbecues serve some type of watermelon dish? A summer gathering isn’t complete without watermelon.
Combining watermelon and bourbon into a summer cocktail makes sense. Our friends, The Cocktail Couple, were inspired by watermelon for some summer cocktails. They wanted a daytime drink that they could sip poolside. Who wouldn’t want a cocktail by the pool?
Luckily, The Cocktail Couple is a big fan of bourbon. They shook up a watermelon and bourbon cocktail that is delightful by the pool, in the backyard or just because. Skip the over-used boozy watermelon slices and shake up this refreshing cocktail this summer.
