CUCUMBER & WATERMELON SPRITZ

CUCUMBER & WATERMELON SPRITZ RECIPE

What is a Cucumber & Watermelon Spritz?

This cocktail is a vibrant and modern take on the classic spritz. It swaps out the traditional prosecco for something much more summery — Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon. Paired with citrusy limoncello, herbaceous vermouth, and a touch of sweetness, this drink is all about cooling refreshment with a fruity twist.

Ingredients in Our Cucumber & Watermelon Spritz

Limoncello

Limoncello brings bright, lemony sweetness to the base of this spritz. It’s a classic Italian liqueur that adds a sunny kick with minimal effort.

White Vermouth

We use white vermouth to introduce soft botanical notes that balance the sweetness and citrus in the drink. Dry, floral, and slightly bitter — it adds that sophisticated edge.

Lemon Juice

Fresh lemon juice adds acidity to balance the liqueurs. It sharpens the drink, making it even more refreshing.

Simple Syrup

A dash of simple syrup rounds out the tartness and ensures smooth sipping. You can make your own with equal parts sugar and water.

Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon

This mixer is the hero of the spritz. The fresh cucumber cools, while the watermelon adds juicy sweetness — together they create a light, fizzy finish that’s perfect over ice.

Why Use a Wine Glass?

We love using a large wine glass for this spritz. It gives the ingredients room to breathe, lets the ice melt gently, and showcases the garnish. It’s also just that bit more elegant — and perfect for those Instagram moments.
