DAILY SIP: KIWI WATERMELON LEMONADE


Better living through layers.

Monday was the last hurrah for the Great Summer Picnics of Aught Eight. While most of the country hates to see summer go, it doesn’t quite carry the same sting here when it means saying good-bye to temperatures that cause smaller pets to spontaneously combust. Regardless, Labor Day picnics represent the last chance you have to gorge yourself on watermelon in a public forum until either Memorial Day or the next Gallagher concert.

As either an accompaniment to all that mellony goodness, or just as a way to recapture the glory, Hash House A Go Go (6800 W. Sahara Ave.) offers the Kiwi Watermelon Vodka Lemonade. Go ahead, guess what’s in it.

The drink starts with vodka in a pint glass, to which the dark green kiwi syrup is added. Hash House’s homemade lemonade goes on top of that, topped with fresh watermelon juice, making the whole thing look eerily like a slice of watermelon. A melon wedge is used as garnish.
