WATERMELON-LIME COOLER



Watermelon-Lime Cooler image

While coolers are often stretched with something sparkling, this rose-hued drink swaps in a pour of fresh watermelon juice. The inherent sweetness - and deep pink color palette - of both the juice and the Lillet Rosé is tempered with an ounce of gin and a splash of lime's bright acidity. (If you can't find Lillet Rosé, use Lillet Blanc or even a blanc vermouth in a pinch.)

4 ounces fresh watermelon juice (see Tip)
