Espresso coffee recipe goes refreshing this summer by mixing it with watermelon and sparkling water! Confused? But that’s what’s going viral right now with the watermelon espresso spritzer. The drink, served in everything from cocktail glasses to cut watermelons, is cropping up across accounts on social media because of its unique combination and refreshing taste. This combination of flavours may look like it doesn’t work – espresso coffee recipe yields a bitter brew while watermelon is refreshing, crispy, and fruity. And yet, the two come together in a layered spritzer that suits the summer season – especially when topped with sparkling water. The water lends a bubbly touch that turns it from just another blend into a spritzer. It’s simple to make, uses common ingredients, and needs basic prep. There is also a creamier version (with coconut cream) and a sweeter version (with sugar or honey). But this recipe keeps the most crisp flavour, relying on no additional sweeteners or creamers. Thus, it requires you to pick the right watermelon for that authentic, sweet flavour.
