Rakomelo Watermelon

Rakomelo Watermelon

Summer and watermelon are a perfect combination, and since watermelon season is here, we decided to start with making a super simple and delicious Rakomelo watermelon cocktail.

The sweetness and fruitness of the watermelon pairs perfectly with the honey and cinnamon flavors of the Rakomelo.

Super simple, super delicious, and a must for summer!

Enjoy it!
