Tropical Twilight

Summer cooler 1-

During my childhood,summer drinks were only constricted to a glass of Rasna filled with four ice cubes.Yes i was very particular about being served exactly four ice cubes with my orange Rasna for no reason.But times have changed.These days we have variety of coolers both homemade and store bought to quench our summer thirst.In this quest of thirst quenching even i have happen to experiment in my kitchen.And here i have come up with few refreshingly simple summer coolers that will cool down your system and your eyes this summer.

For my first summer drink i have named it as "Tropical Twilight".With tropical fruits and the color this drink is surely my summer favorite.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of pineapple chunks
• 3 tbsp of powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp of water
• 1 1/2 cup of water
• 2 tbsp of ginger juice
• 2-3 tsp of kokum/jungle plum concentrate/squash as required

Method

1.In a nonstick pan add the pineapple chunks,powdered sugar,water (2 tbsp).Caramelize the pineapple on medium heat.Once caramelized.Let it cool for a while.

2.Next add the caramelized pineapple and water (1 1/2 cup) in a blender and blend it thoroughly. Sieve the liquid with the help of a strainer.

3.Mix the ginger juice into the liquid.

4.In a glass pour 2-3 tsp or as required of kokum squash (the kokum squash is already very sweet hence did not add any extra sugar into the caramelized pineapple juice.But if you have a really sweet tooth you can add some.)

5.with the help of the back of the spoon add in the pineapple juice without disturbing the kokum squash below.Once done add in some ice cubes and garnish as you like and Drink it up! :)
