Watermelon Drift

AI-generatedMediumHighball

Lazy, juicy, and faintly dangerous — like a summer afternoon that somehow turns into midnight.


Ingredients

  • 3/4 oz triple sec
  • 3 oz watermelon juice
  • 1/2 oz lime juice
  • 1/2 oz pomegranate juice
  • 2 oz club soda
  • 2 small cubes watermelon
  • 3 thin slices cucumber

Method

  1. 11. Muddle cucumber slices gently in the bottom of a shaker — press, don't pulverize.
  2. 22. Add ice, triple sec, watermelon juice, lime juice, and pomegranate juice.
  3. 33. Shake hard for 12 seconds, then fine-strain into an ice-filled highball glass.
  4. 44. Top slowly with club soda, pouring down the back of a bar spoon to preserve the fizz.
  5. 55. Drop in the watermelon cubes so they sink and stud the bottom like jewels.

PRO TIP

Freeze the watermelon cubes beforehand so they act as flavored ice, keeping the drink cold without diluting it as they slowly melt.

Garnish — cucumber ribbon draped over the glass edge
