The melon’s juicy sweetness works perfectly when paired with something a little salty, something a little bitter and something a little creamy. And if you’re not putting Campari on your melons (or in your drinks), you’re truly missing out. The juiciness of the melon offsets the bitter liqueur for a perfect balance.
