Summer in the tropics hits in full force with sweltering heat, lots of sweat and a slight humidity that become markers of the warm weather. Know more about some of the seasonal fruit punch cocktails that can be prepared using southern Indian fruits.
A cocktail concoction that can be prepared using this fruit when it is in season is the orange punch full of the tangy, sour and bitter quality of the citrus juice coupled with the intense and slightly spicy flavours of a premium Captain Morgan Dark Rum.
Incorporate this seasonal fruit into your cocktail game by making a chikoo and mint infused punch. You can either opt for a traditional rum and brandy mix to craft this fruit punch or go for a sparkling wine like prosecco poured.
While making a tropical summer punch, be generous with your fruit juices and spices like cinnamon and star anise which add a layer of intensity to an otherwise cool drink. Use Captain Morgan Dark Rum to craft a drink reminiscent of the tropical Caribbean shores.
While crafting such a mixed fruit punch, highlight the flavours of the mango in summer using juices, chunks of the fruit or even aamras as soon as the fleshy, sweet fruit arrives in all its glory.
You can add jackfruit flesh to punch recipes if you enjoy its subtly sweet taste and utterly soft texture. Pour generous helpings of a Ketel One Premium Distilled Vodka to elevate the taste of this seasonal fruit.
