About this liqueur
Monin's Watermelon Liqueur comes from the French producer's extensive range of flavoured syrups and liqueurs, built for bars and galleys that need consistent, true-to-fruit flavour without fuss. It delivers ripe, sweet watermelon character in a pourable, ready-to-use format designed for mixing.
Serve well chilled, around 6-8°C, as the backbone of a spritz or long summer cocktail, or a splash over crushed ice with soda for guests lounging on deck. A useful bottle to keep behind the bar for building colourful, fruit-forward drinks to order.
