Ingredients
Fruits
- 70g watermelon
- 40g green grapes
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 bottle Yakult (approximately 65ml)
- 10g homemade simple syrup
Others
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Crush the grapes: Gently crush the green grapes to release their juice and place them at the bottom of your serving cup to create a fruity base.
- Add ice cubes: Fill the cup with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Pour syrup and Yakult: Pour the prepared syrup followed by the Yakult drink over the ice, allowing the flavors to blend.
- Top with crushed watermelon: Crush the watermelon into small pieces and add it on top of the drink for a sweet and juicy finish.
- Garnish: Use a few whole green grapes to garnish the top for an attractive presentation and an extra burst of flavor.
- Prepare the syrup: To make the simple syrup, combine equal parts water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer while swirling the pan occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool before using in the drink.
Notes
- For a healthier version, reduce the syrup quantity or use a sugar substitute.
- The drink is best served immediately to enjoy the freshness of fruits and crisp ice.
- You can substitute green grapes with red grapes for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Adjust the amount of syrup based on your desired sweetness.
- Ensure the simple syrup is fully cooled before adding to the drink to avoid melting the ice too quickly.
