With this spirit we aimed to capture the essence of summer and bottled it. C\u00ceROC has a reputation for delivering the most successful flavour innovations and we aim to do this again with Summer Watermelon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To create the summer blend, Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs tapped long-time friend and award-winning producer DJ Khaled.

The result is C\u00ceROC Summer Watermelon \u2013 a product that is born from summer and bred for sunshine and only available for a limited time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love working with Puff because I know that he puts 100% into everything that he does. He always hustles to make sure that it\u2019s the best product,\u201d said DJ Khaled. \u201cWe have the same work ethic and values, so working together to create this limited-edition special flavour to help kick off the summer was key!
