Lawnmower

The Lawnmower cocktail is an interesting combination. It’s one of those drinks that often has to grow on a person, though some people love it right off the bat. The main flavors are melon, peach and lemon-lime, and the marrying ingredient is dry vermouth. That is, the dry vermouth’s herbal notes are what unexpectedly make the whole thing work.
