It's summer and watermelon is definitely the "in" fruit right now, from the popularity of Watermelon Martinis to the traditional slices of watermelon served at just about every barbecue. To celebrate this classic summer flavor, Hampton Coffee Company is offering its own refreshing ­non alcoholic­ watermelon treat, the Watermelon Italian Soda.

Treat yourself on a hot summer day in The Hamptons to this cool combination of ice, seltzer, and all-natural watermelon syrup by Monin, imported from France. One taste and you'll feel just like you're drinking the watermelon juice leftover on your paper plate after finishing a slice of watermelon at a barbecue.

This perfect thirst quencher will be available all season long, but once Labor Day comes, the Watermelon Italian Soda will be gone with the summer, so grab one while you can.

Hampton Coffee Company's espresso bars & cafés are located at 869 Montauk Highway in Water Mill, next to The Green Thumb Farmstand, and at 30 Main Street in East Hampton, right next to the East Hampton movie theater. Both locations are open year-round. For more information, downloadable menus, or directions, visit their website: www.hamptoncoffeecompany.com.
