This watermelon cocktail is perfect for sipping on the patio at Hog Island Oyster Co. or at home poolside. A sweet and spicy cocktail that’s garnished with a dried Thai chile, it’s the first cocktail we ever ordered at the Ferry building when we moved to San Francisco, and it’s still a staple on the Hog Island menu today! Bar Manager Saul Ranella serves this summer time cocktail in a coupe glass. If you’re looking for more ways to use the extra watermelon juice, try making a Straight to the Melon from Redd Wood in Napa Valley.
