Watermelon Drop

Watermelon Sour Schnapps

Create some simple and refreshing summer cocktails with Hiram Walker's Watermelon Sour Schnapps. It has a tangy fruit flavor mildly reminiscent of watermelon candy, but without the excess sweetness.

With a relatively low proof, it's perfect for mixing with stronger spirits like vodka and tequila to add a burst of watermelon flavor to all sorts of cocktail recipes.

Try a twist on favorites like Margaritas, Cosmos or Daiquiris (recipes below) or get creative and mix up something new.
