Watermelon season is open, and we prepare various snacks and drinks from them. Alcohol lovers, don't forget to prepare a refreshing cocktail from this fruit.
Three recipes for watermelon cocktails:
1. Daiquiri
YOU NEED:
- 60 ml of white rum
- 10 ml of lime juice
For the sugar syrup:
- half a watermelon
- 200 g of sugar
PREPARATION:
Boil the watermelon and sugar for ten minutes. While cooking, use a potato masher to mash the watermelon to combine with the sugar. This will create a mushy texture or Watermelon sugar syrup.
Add two teaspoons of sugar syrup, white rum and lime juice to a mixing bowl. Shake the ingredients well and you will get a cocktail with a very light pink color.
2. Caipiroska
YOU NEED:
- 50 ml of vodka
- a large slice of watermelon
- two tablespoons of cane sugar
- half a lime, cut into three parts
PREPARATION:
A caipiroska is a version of the Brazilian caipirinha, except it contains vodka. Mash the watermelon to a mushy texture and 'pour' it into a glass with the sugar and lime. Then add 50 ml of vodka and ice to the mass and mix the ingredients well with a spoon. Rank rank!
3. Martini
YOU NEED:
- 50 ml of gin
- 20 ml of pink vermouth
- 2 cubes of watermelon
