Red Melon
Fresh lemon juice gives the Red Melon the semblance of watermelon rind without the bitterness of the real thing. Adding Jim Beam Bourbon to the Red Stag cuts through a portion of the sweetness. Using fresh watermelon as flavoring means no extra added sugar in the form of liqueurs or simple syrup. This cocktail comes across very fresh. For richer Red Stag flavor leave out the Jim Beam Bourbon without increasing any other ratios in the cocktail.
