01 / THE PREP

THE
PREP.

WATERMELON CLARIFICATION

Add watermelon, a few cubes of feta and a little feta brine to a blender container. Then add Campari, sweet vermouth, Mason's gin, plus a touch of lemon and salt.

Blend everything together and leave it in the fridge overnight. The next day, you should already see it starting to separate.

Strain it through kitchen roll to take out the solids and leave you with a clear drink that looks nothing like that classic Negroni colour anymore.

03 / THE METHOD

  1. 01

    Once strained, grab a glass and add a clear ice cube.

  2. 02

    Pour around 90 ml of the clarified Watermelon Feta Negroni over the top.

  3. 03

    Add one little cube of feta to finish it off.

Clarified cocktails are a patience game. Let gravity do the work and don't squeeze the kitchen roll.
FETA WARNINGIt sounds odd. That salty edge is exactly why it works.
