This sunset cooler is one of my go-to cocktails for summer entertaining—it's light, refreshing, and just the right balance of bitter and sweet. The Lillet Rosé and Aperol bring a lovely floral-citrus complexity, while fresh watermelon juice gives it that seasonal brightness. Serve it over ice with a lime wedge, and you've got a drink that looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a pitcher, combine the Lillet Rosé, Aperol, gin, lime juice and watermelon juice. Chill until ready to serve.
  2. Before serving, fill four glasses with large ice cubes. Pour evenly into the four glasses and garnish with a lime wedge if desired.
