Hi & Mighty worked with Indy Pride staff and board members to develop the flavor. Watermelon was chosen as the main component; the taste befitting outdoor summer events, the company said.

Founded by Dan and Jamie Fahrner and longtime chef Nick Traeger, Hi & Mighty is known for its Lemon Shake-Up canned cocktail and Twin Gin products, Big Heart Floral Gin and Big Fuss Savory Gin.
