Watermelon Pluot Gin + Tonics
Watermelon! Stonefruit! All of the summertime goodies peak in August and I am gobbling it all up! We recently stopped at a roadside fruit stand off of Highway 1 while out on a little mid-week family excursion...the watermelon was so delicious, we couldn't wait until we got home to enjoy it and cut into it roadside. We did save a bit to make these delicious Watermelon Pluot Gin + Tonics...watermelon is so sweet and refreshing while pluots add just the right amount of tartness to make this beverage wonderfully balanced....
