Imagine: summer, the sun is shining, it's warm outside and the birds are singing, and you have a whole and not yet touched watermelon in your refrigerator. But what to do with it? After all, he's already tired of eating. Prepare a light, pleasant-tasting and well-refreshing drink from it - a summer cocktail.
What do you need
To make a watermelon cocktail, you will need:
- mixer or blender;
- ice;
- peeled and peeled watermelon;
- lime or lemon;
- alcoholic drink (optional).
Watermelon shake
You can make the first cocktail both alcoholic and non-alcoholic - it all depends on your mood and desire. The most important thing about making this drink is that you need a good mixer or blender that can crush the ice. And one more rule of a good drink: take a sample. If you think that you need to add something more and something less, then do it, because you are preparing a cocktail for yourself.
If you do not add alcohol to a watermelon cocktail, you will get a very pleasant drink for the whole family, which children will really like.
So, take a couple of slices of watermelon and ice in the proportion of one glass of ice for two servings, throw everything into a mixer and bring to a homogeneous mass. If you want a richer watermelon flavor, you can add as much watermelon pulp as you like. Now add alcohol, a light non-cream liqueur like Malibu or rum is best. And mix everything again with a blender.
Next, pour the resulting drink into glasses and be sure to insert the tubes into them so that it is convenient to drink the cocktail. You can also garnish the glasses with small slices of watermelon or pineapple.
Watermelon cocktail
The second cocktail is made and drunk only alcoholic. It's easy to prepare for a fun party with your friends. This drink should be served in small glasses that are covered with salt, but you can experiment and serve them with something else. Just like in the first cocktail recipe, combine the watermelon and ice in a blender or mixer and place the drink in the freezer. In this case, you need to ensure that this watermelon mixture does not freeze.
Now take two or three limes. Squeeze out the juice and add two tablespoons of sugar. After that, only serving the drink remains. Take the prepared glasses and pour lemon or lime juice on their bottom so that the bottom of the glasses is hidden, that is, quite a bit. Then spoon out the mixture of watermelon and ice - a quarter of the glass, and fill the rest with rum. Tequila is even better for this cocktail.
If you don't have lime, use lemon.
That's it, your watermelon drink is ready to drink! It is best to drink these shakes before they have melted, so the watermelon flavor and lime flavor will override the bitterness of the alcohol. Treat yourself and your friends with such cocktails, and your summer will be filled with a pleasant watermelon taste.
