Watermelon & Peas Collins Cocktail

Put a non-alcoholic twist on a watermelon collins cocktail by using a cucumber and watermelon soda to go with fresh snap peas and Seedlip Garden.

The Tom Collins is a classic cocktail traditionally made up of gin, lemon juice, sugar and carbonated water. For this non-alcoholic twist, we decided to give the Double Dutch Cucumber and Watermelon soda a spin. Those flavours went well both with the fresh snap peas and the earthy pea notes from the Seedlip Garden non-alcoholic spirit (which in itself had a cucumber flavour to us). A bit like a fresh garden salad in a drink!
