Watermelon Mojito featuring Clovendoe SEED ZERO 🌿🍉
When it comes to refreshing, summer-ready cocktails, the Watermelon Mojito is hard to beat. This vibrant drink combines the juicy sweetness of fresh watermelon with the bold, herbaceous notes of Clovendoe SEED ZERO. The result? A zero-proof cocktail that’s bursting with flavour and perfect for sunny afternoons or festive gatherings.
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE WATERMELON MOJITO
The mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail celebrated for its zesty lime, cooling mint, and bubbly soda water. By adding fresh watermelon and swapping out traditional spirits for Clovendoe SEED ZERO, we’ve created a version that’s as bold as it is refreshing.
SEED ZERO’s earthy botanicals, like rosemary and lavender, complement the natural sweetness of the watermelon, while the lime juice and soda water add a crisp, bubbly finish. Garnished with a lime wheel and a flower, this cocktail is as beautiful as it is delicious.

WHY IT WORKS
