Thanks for such an overwhelming response to what drink you’d like us to experiment this Friday! We are so so excited to have so many drink suggestions and yes! we will try each one of them – one Friday at a time! We will be creating all of these for the next few weeks to ring in the weekends on a happy note, just for you – your wish is our command! We hope you can easily recreate these with our recipes then.

So here it goes for this Friday – Sparkling blackberry melon orange punch (fully fresh fruit based).. A melange of melon’s sweetness, berry’s sweety tartness and orangy tanginess topped with chilled sprite and a few sprigs of mint.

Ingredients: (yields 2-3 servings)

• Watermelon
• 7-8 blackberries
• Juice of 2 oranges
• Mint leaves
• Powdered sugar
• Lemon juice
• Black salt
• Sprite/ 7Up/ Soda/ Sparkling water

Procedure:

• In a pan add ¼ cup of water, add blackberries and boil it until soft to make the puree
• Drain out the excess water and crush the berries to form blackberry syrup
• Freeze some crushed watermelon
• In a glass, add 3-4 tbsp of blackberry syrup, some crushed watermelon, ¼ cup of orange juice
• Add ½ tsp of black salt, salt and sugar. Do not mix it at this stage as it will dissolve the colours
• Add some fresh mint leaves and pour sprite to fill the glass
• Add a pinch of black salt and give one stir which will enhance the flavor while mixing the colours
