Description
Every country that I travel too, I make sure to get to know their local cuisine and delicacies. I try my best to sample and feed myself with street food, and the local fare. On my last trip to Saudi Arabia, every restaurant we went to my uncle kept asking for Saudi champagne and for the entire two weeks of my stay, I was not served this mock tail even once. This got me even more curious about this drink. Back home.. Like always nothing to do.. The Saudi trip was running in my mind. The Saudi champagne rang a bell. That mock tail that I missed out on, didn’t want to prolong the curiousness, so I googled and got to know it’s such an easy recipe that even a novice can follow and do. Saved the recipe and made on eid. It did flaunt every one with a surprising spark on their festive faces. The whole colourful fruit rounds with the mint floating is a delight to the eyes. The combination of the sparking drink and apple juice with the dash of mint makes you want the drink more. All thanks to my maternal uncle Shahul ( who is younger to me by eight years ) for letting me know there’s some thing like such in the Arabic cuisine. Cheers to you mama.. Now through me its shared with thousands in our sauté, fry n bake family.
