Buzz Ballz Watermelon Smash

Watermelon Smash is a ready-to-drink flavored alcoholic beverage from BUZZ BALLZ, so it needs no mixing or measuring. The name points to a watermelon profile. Drinks in this style usually taste of sweet, juicy melon with a candy-like fruitiness, and they tend to be light-bodied and easy to sip. Check the label for the exact alcohol content and format, since those details vary by product. Serve it cold. Watermelon flavors taste fresher and less syrupy when chilled, so keep it in the refrigerator until you open it. It can also go in the freezer for a short time beforehand, as long as it isn't left long enough to freeze solid. Pouring it over ice is the simplest way to stretch it. Ice also softens the sweetness as it melts. For glassware, a highball or a rocks glass over ice suits it well. A stemless wine glass works if you want the aroma to come through. A lime wedge or a squeeze of fresh lime balances the sweetness, and a few mint leaves go naturally with watermelon. If you want a mixed drink, topping a pour with soda water or a splash of lemon-lime soda gives a lighter, spritz-style result. Or pour it over crushed ice for a slushy, frozen-style drink. It pairs best with salty, savory, or spicy food that offsets the sweetness. Good matches include grilled chicken or shrimp with a chili-lime seasoning, tortilla chips with salsa, and feta or halloumi. Salted nuts or a plate of cured meats and sharp cheese work as casual snacks.
