Waterloo
Billed by the book Speakeasy as “the queen of summer cocktails,” this one seemed perfect for a night grilling. And it was! It’s fun, flavorful, and pretty.
- 4 watermelon cubes
- ¾ oz simple syrup
- 1 ½ oz Plymouth Gin
- ½ oz lemon juice
- ½ oz Campari
- 1 watermelon wedge
Muddle the watermelon cubes and syrup in the bottom of a mixing glass until the fruit has turned into a juice. Add the gin, juice, and Campari and fill the glass with 5 large ice cubes. Shake briefly and pour unstrained into a Collins glass. Garnish with the watermelon wedge.

Grilled corn on the cob is the fucking best. Drink sounds and looks delicious!
That sounds freaking fantastic. Definitely trying it out next time I get watermelon.
I took inspiration, used what I had, and adjusted the ratios
Shake with ice, free pour, and top with seltzer water.
I'm rather happy with the result. I also tried adding mint syrup, but that was a little overpowering.
Waterloo is equal parts watermelon and toilet water
