Recommended Posts

From a new lounge that recently opened up. The do fruit bowls and fruit bases. Wouldn't be easier just to use watermelon juice?

It adds taste. Not a lot. But it does. I've made one before.

Do you just add water like a glass base or do you take out some of the pulp (fruit) and mix with the water?

VERY popular in lebanon.

it's just because lebs are flashy as hell. i doubt if it does anything noticeable for taste or anything - i wouldn't be surprised if it's almost entirely aesthetics

Also done with pineapples and other melons. Especially visible in the outdoor cafes downtown in Beirut when the Khalijis flood in for the summer

I've seen this before also with a pineapple as a base too. The latter seems like less work IMO

Sadly I went last night and they were not doing it. They said they were out of large watermelons. :( I got a melon bowl with watermelon/mint instead.
