Mikiamo today expands its Italian spirit repertoire in India with the launch of Mikiamo Meloncello, the country’s first. True to its commitment to authenticity, Mikiamo Meloncello is crafted with juicy Sicilian cantaloupe melons and bottled in Goa, bringing a fresh and exciting dimension to India’s cocktail scene.

Tasting profile and characteristics

Mikiamo Meloncello is aromatic, with bright, fruity notes of ripe melon. It carries a smooth, fruit-forward profile with refreshing melon at its core, a clean, rounded taste, silky mouthfeel, and subtle richness that lingers. Its subtle orange hue adds visual appeal, reflecting the freshness and character of this Italian-inspired spirit.

Versatility and usage

Slightly sweeter and stronger at 30% ABV, Mikiamo Meloncello is perfect for sipping neat, enjoying as a chilled shot, mixing into spritzes and cocktails, or adding to desserts like sorbets, gelatos, and patisserie. Its rich flavour and rarity make it a unique addition for bartenders and mixologists looking to create fresh and seasonal serves.

Craftsmanship and quality

Like its predecessor, Mikiamo Meloncello is crafted without additives or artificial preservatives. It respects traditional Italian liqueur-making techniques while using modern precision to ensure consistency and premium quality. The brand will also soon roll out a 90 ml “mini” format to encourage trial and accessibility across consumer and HORECA segments.

Significance for India’s cocktail scene

Mikiamo’s Goa debut with Meloncello signifies more than a product launch; it sets the stage for India’s growing cocktail scene to embrace a rare flavour profile long desired but never available, creating new possibilities for how India drinks, celebrates, and innovates.
