It is a smoothie? is it a desert? a cocktail concoction?? it can be all 3.

My sister showed me this last Summer and I have been making it ever since. The mint is my own addition. Get your blender out and lets go.

Ingredients:

- 2 cups of chilled watermelon
- 2 cups of frozen pineapple (I buy fresh and freeze my own)
- 1 spring of mint.

Add the watermelon to the blender. Smoosh it down with a wooden spoon. Here I used my knife handle. Add the mint and blend for a few seconds. Add the pineapple chunks and blend again until smooth. I serve mine in a fancy glass.

It is so naturally sweet and cold, one can pass it for desert. 

Add a 1/4 cup of rum and you have a frozen cocktail in your hands.
