We enjoyed spending time with Cecil Usher and Cat Cannon at their now-closed bar, St. Clair Social. It was an all-around feel-good hangout. Even though the bar is closed, their cocktail recipes (and their Mindful Hospitality business) live on!
After some simmering, shaking, and sipping, the Watermelon Spritz will heat up your warm weather cocktail menu. Refreshing and vibrant, this Watermelon Spritz combines juicy watermelon, zesty lime, and sparkling soda for a perfect summer sip.
What is Singani63?
This watermelon spritz uses Singani63, a fruit liqueur, in place of the more usual spritz ingredients, Aperol or Campari. The liqueur’s official webiste colorfully asks: “You and your cocktail cohort have been wondering: WTF is Singani 63? F**kin find out now.” Well, it’s a 500-year-old Bolivian spirit from Muscat of Alexandria grapes grown high in the Andes to produce a strong, fruit-forward liqueur with a bright, fruity, and floral flavor. Now you f**kin’ know.
