There’s something about watermelon that makes you want to be barefoot on a patch of lush grass. We’re not saying you have to be barefoot to drink this cocktail, but it would help. Ideally, you’d also want to be sitting on a patio chair under a sun umbrella. A pool and novelty lilos are optional but recommended.
