WATERMELON SODA FLOAT
Watermelon Soda Float is a delicious, chilled, refreshing summer time drink. With fresh watermelon juice, flavour of mint, chilled soda water and vanilla ice cream, this lightly creamy summer treat is a must have.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups watermelon cubes
- ¼ cup mint leaves
- 2 - 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup soda water chilled
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp any fruit of your choice finely chopped
- few ice cubes
Instructions
- Add the water melon cubes and mint leaves into the blender. Liquidize it. You may need to push the melon down for it to get crushed. You will get about 1-1½ cups of juice.
- Add lemon juice and mix well.
- At this stage you may want to leave the juice in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to chill completely. Or prepare it ahead and let it chill in the fridge.
- To serve, take two tall glasses. Add ice cubes to the bottom of each glass.
- Add a tbsp each of the chopped fruit.
- Divide the watermelon juice between the two glasses.
- Top it with the chilled soda water.
- Remember not to fill it till the brim as you have to add ice cream.
- Finally add a scoop or two each of the ice cream.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Be sure to serve with a spoon otherwise the fruit may get left in the glass.
- Add any fruit of your choice. I use kiwi, watermelon, berries, etc
- To make a different flavoured float, use any other fresh fruit juice.
- Use lemon sorbet, coconut ice cream instead of vanilla ice cream.
- I like to liquidized the mint leaves with the melon to get the maximum flavour of this wonderful herb.
