Fruit Cocktail Drink (Coquetel de Frutas)
Description
This drink blends fresh or frozen raspberries (or strawberries), chopped watermelon, freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice, and sweetened condensed milk. The combination yields a creamy, slightly thick consistency with bright, balanced sweet and tart flavors. Optional vodka adds subtle warmth for an adult version, while omitting alcohol makes it a refreshing mocktail. The fruits provide natural sweetness and texture, complemented by the richness of condensed milk.
The recipe is straightforward: all ingredients are combined in a blender until smooth and creamy. Dividing the mixture into glasses allows for immediate serving. The drink's thickness can be adjusted by varying orange juice quantity. Ice cubes chill and slightly dilute the final texture for refreshment.
Serving chilled is best within minutes for optimal flavor and texture, though it can be refrigerated up to 24 hours with stirring. Variations include substituting coconut condensed milk for a dairy-free version or adjusting sweetener levels for personal preference. This cocktail showcases a fruit-forward, creamy drink that highlights the natural flavors of berries and melon with a citrus brightness.

- ½ cup watermelon chopped fresh or frozen, seedless
