Eclipse’s Watermelon Martini Recipe

August 20, 2014

Watermelon-Martini

I recently attended the annual Serpentine Summer Party—the best and biggest party of the London social diary—and all of the A-listers were there: Kiera Knightly, Bradley Cooper, Princess Beatrice, Alexa Chung, and Lily Allen were among the people I was rubbing shoulders with. We all danced along to a live performance by Pharrell Williams.

Eclipse, the bar I own with my husband, sponsored the event and served (of course!) our signature drink: watermelon martinis. This is my all-time favourite cocktail as it is summery and refreshing. It looks just as good as it tastes. And, it isn’t too difficult too make! See below for Eclipse’s delicious recipe.

Born and raised in Orange County, California, Marissa worked in New York City, where she launched several fashion, luxury, restaurant, and nightlife brands. She met Matt Hermer, a British restaurateur and nightclub owner, while in the city and relocated to London in 2008 to be with him. Now married, the couple has two sons together. Marissa uses her own luxury public relations and brand management expertise to grow the family businesses, including Eclipse Bars, Bumpkin restaurants, and Boujis nightclubs.She's currently writing a British food cookbook, launching a children’s party program at Bumpkin, planning the annual Boujis Summer Party, and finalizing plans for an American-concept restaurant, which will open in London and other European cities this fall. Her sons, Max and Jake, keep her busy in Hyde Park, and often accompany her to Bumpkin food tastings; they are the official tasters of the Bumpkin kids' menu!
