Sweet Meloncholy
A sweet & fruity, summer melon drink.
Brimming with the tropical flavors of coconut & pineapple along with the vibrant watermelon, this is a juicy cocktail to enjoy on a hot summer evening. Yet another drink & name coined by Arjun which we really enjoyed. The kids got their share without the alcohol & enjoyed sipping the fresh mingle of summer.
Sweet Meloncholy
Ingredients: (serves 3)
Note: All the fruits, juices, cream should be chilled before use.
- 2 Cups Watermelon pieces
- 3/4 Cup Pineapple pieces

Note: There might be some fruit pieces in the cocktail, we liked them. If you want a smoother cocktail, just run it thru’ a sieve.

Wow, coconut milk? I’ve been admiring the pic for a while, but just now read the ingredients… A watermelon-pina-colada, eh? I’ve never combined watermelon and coconut milk and I have no idea why it never occured to me before!
