This cocktail recipe is Eastern Mediterranean flavors and joy. I invite you to come
with me to a remote Eastern Mediterranean village by the sea. You hear the waves
of the Mediterranean sea, some chatter in the distance, happy laughs of children
playing outside, aromas of grilling lamb and fish and who can deny the aromas of
fresh fried potatoes on a summer day. Amongst in all simplicity, you realize that it
is a cocktail hour and your Eastern Mediterranean refrigerator has fresh herbs and
big juicy watermelon and some vodka.
Ingredients
- Half a watermelon cut in cubes and few thin triangles as garnish
- 2 TBS fresh basil
- 3 2 TBS fresh mint and some for garnish
