Skip sugary frozen fruit drinks this summer, and try this chilly spin on the classic Negroni cocktail. It starts as a White Negroni, a popular variation that calls for Cocchi Americano instead of Campari and dry vermouth instead of sweet. This version is softened with watermelon, added to the gin as an infusion.
