How to Make Your Pineapple Watermelon Daiquiri
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Gather your fresh ingredients and a blender. Measure 50 ml of pineapple juice, cube 25 g of fresh watermelon, and juice a lime to get 10 ml of fresh lime juice. Add 5 ml of simple syrup, adjusting to taste if you prefer it sweeter, and 30 ml of Lyre’s White Cane Spirit.
Step 2: Blend to Perfection
Add all the prepared ingredients into the blender along with a handful of ice. Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy, ensuring the ice is fully incorporated for a refreshing texture.
Step 3: Strain and Pour
Place a strainer over a chilled coupe or martini glass and slowly pour the blended mixture through. Straining ensures a smooth consistency, free from any pulp or watermelon seeds.
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touch
Garnish your drink with a fresh watermelon wedge and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. The garnishes not only enhance the drink’s presentation but also add a touch of freshness to each sip.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Your tropical Pineapple Watermelon Daiquiri is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve immediately and savour this vibrant, refreshing mocktail with friends and family!
