It seems like there’s a specific day to celebrate everything, however, National Watermelon Day is one that really couldn’t come at a better time. During summer’s most unforgiving heat, nothing is more satisfying than cold watermelon…except maybe watermelon cocktails!
Launching on the heels of Seagram’s Vodka’s recent introduction of Ruby Red Grapefruit and
Golden Apricot flavors, Seagram’s Juicy Watermelon Vodka is refreshing, sweet and juicy with a smooth finish. This flavor is highly mixable and is sure to create an exceptional cocktail whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or lounging by the pool.
Cheers!
