Watermelon-Pineapple Drink

Hello again! It is a hot one today for me, and it’s making me crave a fruity drink to keep my energy going throughout the day. I immediately remembered a drink that I found in a Thai cooking book, and it is such a refreshing and sweet drink that I decided to share it! This Watermelon-Pineapple drink uses four basic ingredients and a blender to generate this slushie-like drink~

INGREDIENTS

*** NOTE: the ratio of watermelon to pineapple should be roughly 3:1, but have extra of both fruits on the side so you can add more to taste ***

·      Watermelon chunks, about 1-inch chunks

·      Pineapple chunks, about ½-inch chunks

·      Simple syrup à ½ cup sugar + ½ cup water and boil on high heat until sugar dissolves

·      ½ cup to ¾ cup ice cubes

Add the watermelon chunks, pineapple chunks, about ¼ cup of the simple syrup, and ½ cup ice cubes to a blender and blend all of the ingredients together. Use a spoon to scoop up a bit of the liquid, taste, and add more of all the ingredients to taste. Pour into tall or fancy glasses and enjoy!

Simple enough of a recipe, right? It occurs to me that I should probably start posting pictures of my recipes, so I’ll get on top of doing that soon! Thanks again for reading, and have a great week~ :)
