Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Select a highball or Collins glass. Fill the glass with ice to chill while you mix the drink.

2

Mix base

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Absolut Watermelon, 1 oz Aperol, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Add a handful of ice to the shaker (enough to chill but leave room to shake).

3

Shake

Shake the ingredients vigorously for about 10 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well combined and slightly diluted.

4

Assemble

Discard the ice from the chilled glass if you used it to chill. Fill the glass about two-thirds full with fresh ice. Strain the shaken mixture into the glass over the ice.

5

Top and finish

Top the drink with about 3 oz of Sprite (or lemon-lime soda). Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to integrate the soda with the cocktail mixture—avoid over-stirring to preserve carbonation.

6

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and, if desired, a small watermelon wedge or cube on a toothpick. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
