We eat an abundance of melons and berries, particularly during the summer months, and most often we make agua fresca from the overripe fruit. This chilled 'soup' is a great alternative. It is light and refreshing and perfect to serve during the summer especially when it is too hot to turn the stove on. I liked this as a dessert and served it in fountain soda glasses.
Visit French Fridays with Dorie to see the rest of the group's creations.

The soda fountain glass is so retro/fun! I'm glad you enjoyed this. I did too, but I wonder if it had to do more with the fact that I blended the melon and the berries together.

ReplyDeletesummer day. Hubby and I did not care for the flavors
but I might try it again skipping the ginger.
You've really captured the essence of summer! Love the glass and the photos! Soup du summer! :) I love ginger in chilled/iced espresso drinks (strange combo - but works)!
