- 1/2 watermelon
- 150 g canned fruit cocktail
- 3 tbsp fruit cocktail juice(syrup)
- 300 ml sprite
Strawberry Milk
- 150 ml milk (If you have strawberry milk, just use 150ml. If not, mix strawberry syrup with milk like this)
- 2 tbsp strawberry syrup or strawberry jam
- 4 cubes ice
Instructions
- Cut the watermelon in half, then trim a small slice off the bottom so it stands upright. (Use only half of the watermelon.)
- Scoop out the inside of the watermelon using a spoon or melon baller.
- Cut the scooped watermelon flesh into bite-sized pieces.
- If you have strawberry milk, use that. Otherwise, make your own by mixing milk with strawberry syrup or strawberry jam.
- Add the condensed milk to the strawberry milk and mix well. Then pour in the Sprite.If foam forms on top, skim it off. Tip: If your watermelon is small, reduce the amount of milk and soda. Maintain a ratio of 2 parts soda to 1 part milk.

- Pour in the strawberry soda milk mixture, then add the ice cubes.
