Sweet melon cocktail

Ingredients

• Ice
• 1 slice of melon (150 g)
• 3 tablespoons of piña colada (30 ml)
• 1 tablespoon of white sugar (10 g)
• 3 tablespoons of old rum (30 ml)
• 3 tablespoons of melon liqueur (30 ml)

Preparation

• To prepare this first simple cocktail, start by filling the glasses with ice cubes.
• On the other hand, in a shaker, pour the melon liqueur, rum, piña colada and sugar, then add a few ice cubes to help mix the ingredients.
• Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds then set aside.
• On the other hand, cut the slice of melon into small cubes. Reserve a small portion, and mash the others to extract as much juice as possible.
• Finally, pour the liqueur mixture and lemon juice into the glasses and add as much ice as you want.
• Once served, place a few diced melon on top to decorate.

Daïquiri with melon and pineapple

The second recipe for preparing a melon cocktail will allow us to develop a slightly more sophisticated drink, of the daïquiri type.  We will need the following ingredients:

Ingredients

• ½ lemon (30 g)
• ½ cup pineapple cut into cubes (80 g)
• 2 tablespoons of white sugar (20 g)
• 6 tablespoons of white rum (60 ml)
• ½ cup diced melon (80 g)

Preparation

• The preparation of this cocktail is also very simple. Once the fruit has been cut into cubes , pour them into a blender with the sugar, rum and lemon juice.
• Then beat until you get a smooth mixture without fruit lumps, then pour your preparation into margarita glasses filled with crushed ice.
• To decorate cocktails, you can place a mint leaf on top or a small piece of melon pressed on the edge of the glass.
• Optionally, you can mix this cocktail with a typical touch of margaritas. To do this, you must first pour a layer of salt distributed over the surface of a dish.
• Then just wet the edges of the glasses and place them on the salt, so that it sticks to the glass.
• Finally, follow the recipe previously given to obtain a cocktail that offers the special salty touch of margaritas.

The famous “green demon”

Another variation for making a rich melon cocktail is to use ingredients that have a stronger, more concentrated taste. The one that we are going to present to you is called the “green demon” in view of the color of the lemon and, of course, from the coloring contained in the liquor used.

To prepare it we will need the following ingredients:

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of vodka (10 ml)
• 1 tablespoon of white rum (10 ml)
• ¼ cup of melon, cubed (40 g)
• 1 tablespoon of melon liqueur (10 ml)
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (10 ml)

Preparation

• The preparation of this cocktail begins by mixing the liqueurs in a shaker with crushed ice. Stir the mixture for about 15 seconds so that it is smooth, then you can serve it in a glass.
• Then, to prepare the cocktail, simply add the lemon juice, mix well and decorate the surface with the melon cubes.
• As a last resort, you can add a little lemon zest to accentuate the citrus flavor. You can also place a strip of lemon peel on the edge of the glass to decorate.

Melon and cava cocktail

Finally, we are going to show you a recipe that mixes the slightly bitter taste of cava with the sweet taste of melon. This is a very select cocktail, which is generally enjoyed on special occasions. To prepare it you will need the following:

Ingredients

• Pinch of black pepper
• ½ cup of cava (60 ml)
• 1 slice of melon (150 g)
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (20 ml)

Preparation

• Start by cleaning the melon slice, removing the skin and seeds. Then chop the fruit and place the pieces in a blender.
• After adding the lemon juice and a pinch of pepper, beat until you get a homogeneous mixture, without fruit lumps.
• Finally, pour the mixture into a colander to remove any solid particles that may remain, then mix everything in a glass containing cava.
• Before drinking, be sure to mix well.
