KISS Recipe: Whismelina!

By Rashi Ravi Ganguly @sincerelylazy
KISS: Keep it short and sweet! A new series on this blog that is perfectly in sync with me and my Lazybirdie persona. Hopefully it'll also be helpful for those of you who, like me, are almost always in a rush and looking for quick-fix yet delicious bites and slurps. Today's KISS features a zingy, fruity cocktail that I whipped up this past Sunday. Have fun with this!

For 1 drunkard person:
Ingredients:
  • Whiskey: 30ml-60 ml (depending on how strong you like your drink)
  • Watermelon cubes: 1/4 cup
  • Orange/any Citrus marmalade: 1 tsp.
  • Basil leaves: 4-5 +1 for garnish
  • Ice cubes: 2-3, crushed
  • Soda/7'up/Sprite: 1/4 cup, chilled

Method:
  • Muddle together the watermelon, basil, marmalade and whiskey.
  • Shake up the mix together with ice and Soda/Sprite/7'up in a cocktail shaker.
  • Serve, garnished with a basil leaf.
  • Sip, sit back and enjoy the heady fruity blast with your Sunday book/ newspaper/ movie!

Its such a lovely respite on hot sunday afternoons! Did you guess why I named it Whismelina? Do give it a try and let me know whether you liked it or not in the comments!
