This summer, surprise your guests with some innovative fruit cocktails. While in the sweltering heat one should avoid alcohol; these cocktail options are sure to keep you refreshed.
Here are some fruits that make for the best fruit cocktail!
Watermelon Vodka Cooler
When summer hits, nothing beats the juicy, hydrating sweetness of watermelon. To make the perfect watermelon drink all you need is fresh, chilled watermelon juice blended perfectly with vodka, a splash of fresh lime juice, and a handful of mint leaves.
It’s ideal for those scorching afternoons when you want to sip something that feels like a cool breeze on your skin.
Muskmelon and Dark Rum
Another great summer fruit is muskmelon, and it is often underrated. But pair it with dark rum, and you’ve unlocked a tropical treasure. This cocktail is a delightful blend of sweet, fruity muskmelon chunks mingling with the deep, rich notes of dark rum. Add in some fresh lime juice and a dash of orange juice to balance the flavours with a citrusy zing, shake it all well, and serve over ice.
Enjoy it with some salted peanuts for that extra zing!
Raw Mango Cocktails
If you’re not a fan of sweet cocktails, then the raw mango (aam) cocktail is your new best friend. Summer and raw mangoes go hand in hand. To make a kaccha aam drink all you need is some aam panna and elevate it by adding tequila for a bold kick. Sprinkle in black salt and cumin to give it a spicy, earthy twist, and squeeze fresh lime juice to brighten it up. Make sure to serve it cold!
Coconut Water Cocktails
Coconut water is nature’s perfect hydrating drink. With coconut water you can make a perfect glass of Pina Colada. It is traditionally made with thick coconut cream, but you can swap it out for fresh coconut water for a lighter, fresher version. Add white rum and tangy pineapple juice, and voila! You have a great cocktail.
The Pineapple Cocktail
Hosting a summer party and want a crowd-pleaser? Look no further than the Malibu mango pineapple cocktail. Blend smooth Malibu rum with creamy coconut milk, fresh mango juice, and tangy pineapple juice for a fruity explosion of flavours.
We bet this will be a guest favourite!
Lychee Vodka Cocktail
For those who love exotic fruits, the lychee cocktail is an absolute must-try. It’s unexpectedly refreshing and surprisingly simple to make. Mix vodka with vermouth and add some lychee syrup or fresh lychee juice, then shake it with plenty of ice.
Enjoy this with a side of bhelpuri for that desi twist!
