Watermelon Cosmopolitan is a very refreshing and non-diluted drink that is rich in flavors of watermelon and also gives a gentle kick to your palate. The drink is a perfect option for those who want to treat there guests with a special welcome in this scorching heat. In summers even kids go fussy and demand for new fancy eatables and drinks which at times become a tough job for mothers.
Watermelon Cosmopolitan is one such amazing thirst quencher that not just hydrates the body but is also loved by the kids a lot. My son is too fussy in eating fruits, this is why i often keep trying making new fruity drinks for him so that he can enjoy the goodness of fruits as well. In summers when the markets are flooded with Watermelon, the best way to feed that to children is to make popsicles or a drink.
The best part about this drink is that it does not contain any artificial flavors and is also sugar free. The watermelon itself is sweet hence there is no need to add more sugar to it. The addition of salt, pepper, mint, lemon and green chilies give a fruity punch to the drink which really makes it very interesting.
