Watermelon Americano UNDONE

A refreshing summer twist on the classic Italian Americano, made non-alcoholic. UNDONE No. 7 NOT ORANGE BITTER and No. 9 NOT VERMOUTH meet crisp Thomas Henry Vivid Watermelon for a bittersweet, fruit-forward aperitif, with an optional splash of balsamic for depth.

Aperitif

  • 1 oz UNDONE No. 7 NOT ORANGE BITTER
  • 1 oz UNDONE No. 9 NOT VERMOUTH
  • Thomas Henry Vivid Watermelon, to top
  • Optional: 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • Garnish: orange peel

Instructions:

  1. Fill a short Collins or highball glass with ice
  2. Pour UNDONE No. 7 NOT ORANGE BITTER and UNDONE No. 9 NOT VERMOUTH over the ice
  3. Top with Thomas Henry Vivid Watermelon
  4. Optional: add a teaspoon of balsamic for savory depth
  5. Express and add an orange peel to garnish, then serve

Bartender’s Notes

The balsamic is optional but adds a savory depth that balances the natural sweetness of the watermelon. For a drier, longer serve, increase the mixer-to-spirit ratio.
