Everyone loves watermelon in the summer, especially eastern black rhinos King and Jozi! King and Jozi recently welcomed baby Tamu, adding to the population of one of the most endangered species on the planet.
The Oregon Zoo collaborates closely with partners to prevent species extinctions, expand imperiled populations and advance conservation science.

What we're doing
For every purchase of watermelon lemonade, 503 Distilling will donate a portion of proceeds to the Oregon Zoo Foundation to support saving species. We’ll drink to that! Together for wildlife!
How It All Started
Like most crazy adventures this one began in the woods… several beers deep. And If memory serves, we were discussing how we wished we could trade in our cans of light beer for something with a little more flavor. However while hiking with a bottle of booze and mixers is not my cup of tea, what if there was a premade craft cocktail that came packaged in something we could take with us everywhere we went. We laughed at the idea but none of us could shake the desire to see 503 Cocktails a reality. Here we are years after that hike drinking a delicious cocktail out of can. Yeah, we’re as stoked as you are.
