Blue Shark Vodka’s most refreshing summer sip lands on Wrightsville Beach’s favorite Mediterranean table, just in time for the Fourth of July.
Kipos Hellenic Cuisine has built a loyal following along the Carolina coast for the kind of food and hospitality that makes a meal feel like an occasion — and this summer, they’re pouring Blue Shark Vodka’s Bikini Bottoms as part of their star-spangled holiday lineup. The cocktail is bright, balanced, and built for warm weather, with a coastal ease that mirrors the restaurant’s own approach to the table.
Bikini Bottoms
- Blue Shark Vodka
- Fresh watermelon juice
- Fresh lime juice
- Simple syrup
- Fresh mint
The combination is deceptively simple by design. Blue Shark Vodka is distilled four times and triple charcoal filtered from non-GMO heirloom sweet corn grown in North Carolina’s Southern Piedmont, which means it carries its own clean, faintly sweet character into every pour.
Against the watermelon’s natural depth and the brightness of fresh lime, that smoothness becomes the throughline that ties the drink together. The mint lifts it, the simplicity seals it, and the Fourth of July is the perfect reason to sip it.
If you’re celebrating the Fourth in the Wilmington, NC, or Wrightsville Beach, NC area, stop into Kipos Hellenic Cuisine, order a Bikini Bottoms, and raise one to the coast!
