Verla's Summer Punch | Drink Recipes à la Kouvola's Licorice

Summer, flies and refreshing Verla's summer punch! Puree the watermelon in a blender or with a hand blender until it is liquid. Strain the melon into a serving bowl so that the pulp and seeds do not get into the punch. Measure the licorice syrup into the bowl and mix with the watermelon. Add Ginger ale and frozen strawberries.

1/2 Watermelon
1 l Ginger Ale
1 - 1.5 l Lemon whiskey
1.5 - 2 dl Licorice-orange syrup
Icy frozen strawberries

Puree the watermelon in a blender or hand blender until smooth. Strain the melon into a serving bowl to remove the pulp and seeds. Measure the licorice syrup into the bowl and mix with the watermelon. Add the Ginger Ale and the frozen strawberries.

If you want to make a grown-up version of the punch, you can use dry/semi-dry sparkling wine instead of the Ginger Ale or add gin and strawberry liqueur to the punch in addition to the original ingredients.

Serve with fresh berries and Kouvola Liquorice.

Licorice syrup

2dl brown sugar
3dl water
2 tsp Kouvola licorice powder
Half an orange

Measure the ingredients into a saucepan, bring to a boil and then simmer gently for 20-30 minutes.
