Watermelon is a refreshing and juicy fruit that adds natural sweetness and a subtle taste of summer to cocktails. The juicy fruit is used either in the form of puree, juice or as fresh pieces in drinks, adding a light and refreshing character.
The origin of the watermelon can be traced back to southern Africa, and it has been a popular summer fruit for centuries. It has also found its way into modern cocktails, where it adds a distinct flavor and color.
When using watermelon in cocktails, choose a ripe fruit for optimal sweetness. Blend the pulp into a puree or squeeze the juice to use in drinks. Combine with citrus fruits such as lime or lemon for a fresh and balanced taste experience.
