Mango melon fruit cocktail

Mango is in season!

I think skinless grapes have a special place in fruit heaven, because they are just too epic, especially in this recipe. Who doesn’t love chilled fruit cocktail from the can? A whole lot of people do, so imagine those same fruits instead of being soggy and overly sweet, being fresh, vibrant, and crunchy. Not to mention dripping in a mango melon sauce instead of corn syrup? That’s what’s happening in this post, homemade fruit cocktail.

Lemon Mint Fruit cocktail

Summa Summa Summa time!

What summer BBQ would be complete without a fruit salad or a fruit cocktail? On this, another Friday I bring to you a jazzed up fruit salad you won’t make any other any after you have tried this. Its minty, sour, sweet so refreshing and perfect for summer in every way.

Watermelonade turned Sky juice turned Watermelonade

Cookout and BBQ Season!

Initially I had the idea to make a refreshing summer drink, by combining  watermelon and limeade.  However I decided to go even more refreshing and make a sky juice.

There are just some things you remember as a child that will never leave you. Back in the day at ‘little Belair’ before mom had a car; she would pick me up after teachers college and we would walk to the taxi stand and take a taxi home. Right in the middle of the park there was a little blue and white wooden stall where a man would sell sky juice, red and blue ones in  little plastic bags with a straw. He didn't have any fancy ice crushers, all he had was a huge block of ice and a little metal thing in his hand, he shaved some off  put it in the little bag and put whatever color syrup you wanted. My mother is not and has never been a fan of street side food, however once in a while she would get me a sky juice.
