It’s Been A Long Week: Campfire Cookout Cooler

As true believers of the work hard, play hard mantra, we present you with It’s Been a Long Week, a weekly column aimed at awarding some liquid appreciation to you for just being yourself, dammit. Make yourself a glass or two, on us — you deserve it.

 

It’s been a summer and if your watermelon hasn’t been spiked you’ve been doing it wrong. Josh Cameron of Boulton & Watt has created the perfect alternative for both your gourmand and boozy likes. The watermelon cocktail amasses summer flavors into one bowl easily prepared for a group gathering or enjoyed at the New York bar.
