Refreshing

Seasonal

Made this cocktail during a cold snap this winter. Wanted to make something that reminded me of the summer. The name was inspired by the lyrics of Under the Northern Star by Amon Amarth. 🎵 Soon the lakes and seas will freeze Snow will lay its veil And we will long for the summer breeze When we can set our sails 🎵

Muddle the Watermelon and Mint Leaves in a cocktail shaker. Add the remaining ingredients minus the Club Soda and shake with ice. Double strain into a brandy snifter over one large ice cube. Top with the Club Soda. Garnish with fresh lime zest over the top. Enjoy!

Editor's Note

Agricole and Jamaican rums collide in this tropical-meets-spiced refresher. Watermelon and cinnamon provide a surprising, balanced bridge between summer brightness and winter warmth.
