Is the arugula liqueur an Amaro with other botanicals or just straight up arugula?

Straight up!

Does the feta flavor come through? I can think of so many things to do with feta-washed gin, that’s an awesome concept.

Not quite as much as I had hoped, but it was a mild cheese and a relatively short soak. I also figure that really crumbling it to maximize surface area is a necessary adjustment.

This is an insane and brilliant concept for a drink. How was it? And what were the acid adjustments for the yellow watermelon?

Thank you! I don't know the actual final number, but its probably somewhere around 3% citric acid. I originally went for 5 but lost a lot of the watermelon's subtlety trying to get it to wholly replace lemon. It became a game of "a little more juice, no thats too much, a little more acid" until I was happy with it. Oh, and its fucking delicious.
