Instructions
-
Start by preparing the glasses that will hold your watermelon daiquiris. Place them in the freezer to chill while you work on the rest of the recipe.
-
For the melon skewers, begin by peeling the cantaloupe melon. Slice the melon into two horizontal halves. Use a melon baller to scoop out 4 balls from each half, totaling 8 melon spheres.
-
Next, cut the Camembert cheese into cubes of about 25 grams each. The size should match that of the melon balls.
-
Brush each Camembert cube with chili-infused olive oil for a flavorful touch. Repeat this process until all the cheese cubes are coated.
-
Assemble the skewers by alternating melon balls and Camembert cubes. You should end up with 4 skewers in total. Once done, place them in the fridge to chill while you prepare the daiquiri.
-
To prepare the daiquiri, cut the watermelon into large chunks. Blend it into a smooth puree and then strain it to remove any seeds and solid bits of pulp, leaving only the juice.
-
Add the lime juice, sugar syrup, and a handful of ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Pour in the fresh watermelon juice, close the shaker, and shake vigorously until well-mixed.
-
Using a strainer, pour the watermelon daiquiri into the chilled glasses, ensuring a smooth and refreshing consistency.
-
Serve the daiquiris alongside the melon skewers and garnish with a few sprigs of fresh mint.
Your Watermelon Daiquiri with Melon Skewers is now ready to enjoy—a refreshing and vibrant cocktail perfect for any occasion!
