2. combine melon juice, orange juice, lemon tincture, aquafabba, gin in a shaker. shake it like you’re at a disco.

Qu'est-ce qui a inspiré la boisson?

UMARELL (“little man”)
the name is inspired by the italian phenomenon of older italian men, in retirement, gathering together to watch construction sites progress and develop. something my wife and I enjoy seeing here in toronto as we walk around and enjoy the summer. this cocktail is inspired by a french 75 but with a bit more jazz to it.

for me, the flavours and experience of this cocktail is meant to be something enjoyed after coming home from an italian market on a hot summer day. crisp, light, refreshing but bursting with flavour. I wanted to create a cocktail that is reminiscent of all those stunning scents you come across while getting groceries - fresh melon, fresh citrus, cucumbers with that perfect crisp snap when you bite into them. I want it to be that thing that quenches your thirst after you throw you bags on the counter, kick your shoes off and get lost in your kitchen celebrating life while enjoying this drink.
