Kulikki Sharbath / Shaken Lemonade

Back to Bangalore after a long vacation from Kerala. In the scorching heat of Kerala, I have seen a lot of road side stalls where they sell this amazing drink. I was told that this is an excellent drink to cool yourself. I wanted to try this from one of the stalls but wasn’t sure about the water. So I tried it at home and realized why this drink is so popular in Kerala.

This is a perfect thirst quencher. There are so many names for this drink like “taste of Kochi” or “new generation drink” and so on. A perfect blend of lemon, green chillies, sugar and ice cubes. We can also add little crushed ginger and also basil / sabja seeds. Just you need some simple ingredients and an amazing magical drink will be ready within minutes.

Ingredients:

1. Lemon- Half a lime
2. Sugar- 1 tbsp
3. Green Chilli- 1 no
4. Water- ½ a glass
5. Ice Cubes- few

Method:

1. Squeeze the lime in a glass along with sugar, green chillies, water and ice cubes.
2. Cover the glass tightly with another glass and shake well for about 30 sec.
3. Serve it by adding a small piece of lime and enjoy an amazing drink.
