COOKBOOK: FRESH - Woolworths Dec 2017
RATE: ❤️❤️❤️👌🏻💲
Watermelon is so refreshing in drinks! My first batch was way too sweet but the second batch was just perfect! I adjusted the sugar levels and only added half of the amount specified. (I have recorded in this recipe the correct amount)
For a mocktail, do not add the vodka and you have a refreshing summer drink. Very simple to make and very satisfying!
Enjoy
