Melonade is a handcrafted aperitif made by Ælred in Provence, France, using Cavaillon melons—famous for their intense sweetness and floral aroma. These melons are harvested at peak ripeness to bring out their full flavor in the drink.
With an alcohol content of 12% ABV, Melonade has a bright orange-yellow hue with golden reflections. On the nose, it’s packed with the scent of ripe melon, while the taste is smooth, fruity, and generously sweet. The finish lingers with soft, natural fruit notes.
It’s a versatile drink that can be enjoyed in different ways. Serve it over ice for a simple, refreshing sip, mix it into a spritz with sparkling wine and soda, or use it in cocktails—like a twist on a gin and tonic.
Produced by Ælred under the Eyguebelle company, Melonade comes from a long tradition of high-quality, locally sourced ingredients and traditional production techniques. The company is based in Drôme Provençale, France, and works closely with regional producers to maintain the authenticity of their products.
