WaterMelon Mojito
When I was a
kid, summers was vacation time and I used to be touring all my aunties and
uncles house having a gala time with my bestest cousins.. Lots of great
memories. One such memory is of my uncle cutting out slices of watermelon and
seeding them and giving it to all of us. We used to sit surrounding him and
wait for our turn to bite into a large slice of watermelon. It used to be a
messy affair. All the faces used to get sticky. But that’s the best way to eat
watermelon, start from one end and go all the way to other end of the slice..
Now we all have grown up but my uncle who is now grandfather to our kids still
does it for them.. Whenever we get watermelons, I eat atleast one whole slice.
Nowadays I am trying my hand at watermelon caving..
this is my First attempt which needs loads of improvement... After i was
done with craving, Neil got up from sleep and had nice snack of
watermelon flowers.
Its really HOOOOooooot in Bangalore..
So we make it a point to have some fresh juice daily. Neil also loves “jussh”.
So have to make something special for him. Since I had a nice big watermelon
sitting in the house, decided to make Watermelon Mojito .
Watermelon
mojito is adapted from the refreshing Cuban cocktail which has lemon, mint,
sugar, soda and rum… I made this version non alcoholic and used watermelon
juice instead of soda…
Ingredients:
- 200 ml watermelon juice
- 3-4 mint leaves
- 2-3 lemon slices
- Sugar (to taste)
- A pinch of rock salt
Method:
In a large glass, crush the mint, sugar and lemon slices.
Its called muddling.. Just muddle enough to get the minty extract of the leaves,
don’t crush them completely. Add cool watermelon juice and stir well.
You could add lots of ice
