{ Vanilla Watermelon Spritz }
The Vanilla Watermelon Spritz is a light, effervescent cocktail that balances juicy summer flavors with aromatic botanicals. Fresh watermelon is muddled to release its natural sweetness, then combined with HM Blushing Pink Gin, dry rose wine, a touch of vanilla sugar, and a squeeze of lime for a subtly sweet, refreshing base. Shaken over ice and topped with soda water, this spritz is served in a white wine glass and garnished with a watermelon wedge and a sprig of mint for a bright, inviting presentation. Perfect for sunny afternoons or casual gatherings, it’s a playful, flavorful cocktail that’s easy to enjoy again and again.
