About
This cocktail was created by Jon Nutter (@capt.creamcheese) at Attaboy in New York City in 2019. The watermelon keeps things bright and refreshing, while Averna brings just enough dark citrus, caramel, and herbal bitterness to give the drink some depth without taking over. Bourbon gives it a richer backbone than you might expect from a watermelon drink, but it still lands firmly in refreshing summer sour territory.Cheers y’all!
