Yardbird Southern Table & Bar serves refreshing watermelon cocktail
The spring weather is calling out for refreshing fruit juices. But many dread the uber-sweet cocktails that accompany the dog days of our hardcore pool season. This drink, offered at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar is a perfect in-between drink. While the watermelon juice provides a bright springtime base, the bitter Aperol cuts through the sugar like a knife. And the Tennessee white corn whiskey, while sweet by whiskey standards, follows through with a serious kick. A whiff of the fresh rosemary tends to even things out – until the next sip.
