Lovely to look at and delicious to drink, this simple watermelon cooler takes a spritzer to the next level. Start with a dry sparkling wine like prosecco for a drink that’s not too sweet but just fruity enough to make any day a celebration.
It’s that easy: Midori is a melon liquor. Very sweet and bright green, it’s heavier than water so it sits at the bottom of a glass if gently drizzled down the side. I don’t use it so much for taste as for a pretty effect so the drink is delicious without it, but prettier with it.
