So Sunday brunch parties have to start with a good cooler. I love to serve Pimm’s (A well know British liquor) with cucumber or orange. So this time the mood was set on Melon (Honey Dew) the seasonal fruit.
One can do a mix of different melons like watermelon, honey due and musk melon, but I stuck to just one and worked on enhancing that flavour.
So lets get the ingredients ready :
Chilled White Wine (750ml), one can use any dry white wine for making sangaria.
Melon Liquor 80ml , Midori the Japanese brand is amongst the best or else Joseph Carlton is great too.
1 fresh melon, 1/2 of it cut into thin slim slices and the rest half used to scoop out balls.
Freeze these melon balls and we add when we serve chilled to keep the sangria cool.
A ginger beer or ginger tonic or gingerale.
1 Lemon’s juice and some Lemon Zest
Some sage leaves for garnish.
Preparation:
Take a deep, wide mouth container (jug). Pour the white wine, the melon liquor , ginger beer and the melon juice reserve. While you chopping the melon, do not discard the juice, reserve it aside and in-fact scope some more out.
Add to the mix cut melon strips, few rings of lemon and sage leaves.
Stir well, cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight.
Serve in a frosted wine glass with a chilled ball of melon.
Refreshing Right!!
