I have to take a break from reporting about Tales to celebrate National Watermelon Day(it’s not actually watermelon cocktail day, but I know why you’re all visiting this site). I bet you’re probably thinking, “Well then what does that have to do with cocktails?”, and I’m glad you asked! I see today as a way to not only celebrate the perfect for summer, refreshing fruit, but to also celebrate a well-loved product of ours here at the Cocktail Culture blog, Hiram Walker Watermelon Schnapps!
Here are some of our favorite recipes using Hiram Walker Watermelon Schnapps!
French Laundry
- ½ part Elderflower Liqueur
- ½ part Hiram Walker Watermelon Schnapps
- 3 parts Brut Champagne
Build in-order in a champagne flute
Watermelon Drop
- ¾ parts Hiram Walker Watermelon Schnapps
- ¾ parts ABSOLUT Citron
Layer Citron on top of HW Watermelon. Serve with a lemon.
Watermelon Martini
• 1 ½ parts ABSOLUT Vodka
• 1 part Hiram Walker Watermelon Schnapps
• 2 parts Cranberry Juice
• 1 splash Pineapple Juice
Shake with ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
These are just some great watermelon cocktails you can make, and we encourage you to get creative on this joyous National Watermelon Day 
We also suggest you take a look at Hiram Walker’s Facebook page for some more watermelon recipes and drink photos!
Enjoy!
