Kiwi and Melon Limeade

4 servings

50 minutes

Limeade made from kiwi and melon is a refreshing drink with an exotic taste, considered a bright representative of Yugoslav cuisine. Its light acidity from lime harmonizes with the sweetness of melon and the tartness of kiwi, creating a balanced, invigorating flavor. Historically, such fruit drinks were popular in southern regions for their refreshing properties on hot days. This limeade not only quenches thirst but is also rich in vitamins, making it a great alternative to carbonated drinks. It can be served with ice cubes and garnished with fresh fruit slices, making it an ideal choice for summer gatherings or outdoor dinners.
