John Steed

Recipe Description

It`s abnormal hot here in Germany these days. In the last few days the thermometer almost reached 100°F. So what to eat in this heat?

Watermelon, of course!!!

But because only eating watermelon all the time is kinda boring, I’ve a delicious cocktail recipe for you. It’s inspired by the huge cocktail menu of my favorite cocktail bar. A really delightful place with a beautiful garden where you totally forget that you are sitting right next to a busy street. There’s a cocktail named “John Steed”. Have you heard that name before? That is the main role of the British television series “The Avengers” from the 60s. I think the series hero himself has rather not even tried this cocktail but his billycock hat which almost look like a melon is probably the inspiration for this drink. A very special taste experience that you should definitely try.

I bought the watermelon liqueur and even made the tarragon syrup according to my own recipe. Certainly you can prepare the watermelon liqueur by yourself also. But this is probably a different story : -D
