Why not enjoy watermelons this season with a different punch? Perfect for your child's taste buds and also for gatherings, melon melody is a tasty and attractive punch which actually reminds us of a martini drink.

Watermelon being a rich source of vitamins, minerals, lycopene and other essential nutrients is an ideal food in both raw or crushed form. And are even available with a red, orange or yellow flesh. The red ones being more popular is ideal for making martini's and melody's. As we associate mango to yellow, similarly for us watermelon means a fruit which is ideally red in colour.
