Raspberry Melon Magic
2026 June 12
A refreshing Ayurvedic cocktail for balmy summer evenings
To give you that ultimate summer feeling in your garden or on your balcony, our experienced Ayurvedic chef, Heide Maria Vendler, has created a special cocktail – the ‘Raspberry and Melon Magic’.
Method
Bring the water, lemon juice and raw cane sugar to the boil and reduce to 120 ml.
Place the basil leaves in a bowl and pour the hot syrup over them. Leave to infuse for a quarter of an hour.
Then pour the basil syrup through a sieve and leave to cool. In the meantime, finely purée the melon with the ginger and cardamom. Purée the raspberries in the same way and pass them through a sieve.
Pour 40 ml of basil syrup into a cocktail glass. First add 3 tbsp of melon purée, then 2 tbsp of raspberry purée on top.
Pour in 120 ml of mineral water and stir gently with a straw or the handle of a spoon.
