Watermelon Spritzer. And the winner of Ice cream challenge.


Who doesn't crave watermelon during the summer? A slice of fresh juicy crisp watermelon can quench the thirst better than any other fruit.Mid-summer has the best melons that are ripe,red and sweet.

Watermelon is loaded with a nutrient called citrulline that helps produce nitric oxide, a powerful blood vessel dilator that's critical to healthy blood flow - Dr. Oz

Much more satisfying than sugary sodas,the fizzy watermelon ice cubes spritzer is an amazing drink to chill off.The melon ice cubes keeps the drink cooler longer,alternately you could also make the drink by blending the melon with few ice cubes.But the ice cubes method yield a more intense melon punch,since the ice cubes are purely melons.

Recipe : Water melon Ice Cubes Spritzer(Non-alcoholic)
Ingredients
5 cups of Water melon chunks(about a quarter of large size melon)
2 tablespoon agave nectar(optional)
6 ounce bottle of lime flavored soda water

Oh this brings back fond memories for me. I was a "Mormon" missionary in Brazil many, many years ago (about 30 now, how time flies). They made the most wonderful drinks by adding soda water to tall glasses of fruit (some that were unique to Brazil). This has inspired me and, guess what? I have a watermellon in my kitchen already! I'm going out to get some soda water later today for a treat tonight! Thanks Yasmeen.
