Melon Colada Mocktail Recipe


Our vegetable and fruit market is being flooded with fully ripened melons and cantaloupes these days. I often buy them fresh and we relish juicy melons a lot. Since Malaysia is a tropical country, these fruits are readily available. 



This mocktail recipe was made and relished very much. Mocktails are well, mock, that is minus alcohol. This is such a refreshing mocktail drink for a hot summer evening. Although, you can add alcohol of your choice to spike it and call it cocktail. 


You can use shaker with ice to make this mocktail. I have blended all in a mixer, which is what I have.
As a thumb rule in Pina colada, white rum is added but you can choose any other liquor as well. I have included papaya as well to make it healthy and filling. This is a kid-friendly recipe.


Melon Colada Mocktail Drink Recipe
Recipe requirements (serves-1)
  • 2-3 slices of fully ripened Sunlady melon or cantaloupes
  • 1 thin slice of fresh papaya
  • 12 tsp of fresh coconut milk
  •  3 oz. of sprite
  •  ½ tsp of honey as sweetener
  • Ice cubes and mint leaves for garnishing


Method
  • Pick fully ripened and fresh melon and papaya for better flavour. Use freshly made coconut milk for best flavour, otherwise you can use canned one or coconut cream in place of coconut milk.
  • Cut and chop melon and papaya into slices. Pick 2-3 slices or wedges from melon and 1 wedge from papaya. Make a mixture with honey and coconut milk in a blender. Now cool it in fridge. At the time of serving take out and mix it with sprite again in mixer. Sprite itself is sugary, so less honey is added. More over the fully ripened melon and papaya gives a nice sweet flavour. Serve chilled with mint leaves.
  • Easy and delicious papaya melon colada is ready. You can spike it with alcohol of your choice (rum/vodka/tequila) if you want a nice cocktail.








Happy Cooking Friends and have a relaxing weekend.
