How to make Natural Fruit Cocktail:

• We will start the recipe by making the melon and ham tapa. To do this, we cut melon slices approximately 2 cm thick. Then, with the help of one or more cookie cutters, we make different shapes, they can be flowers, hearts, etc. Once this is done, we place small pieces of Serrano ham on top and reserve.
• Now let’s go for the fruit cocktail. Squeeze the oranges and pour the juice into a shaker or any other container. Add some ice cubes, pineapple juice (the same amount as orange) and stir. If you do not have pineapple juice, you can blend some pieces of this fruit. I usually have cut pineapple in the fridge and it releases its juice by itself. Keep in mind that pineapple with a little sugar releases a lot of juice and, if we squeeze the peel with our hands, it also expels a lot of liquid.
• We added the homemade one, also the same amount of juices. We remove a little and add a jet of grenadine, we move again.
• We put a piece of orange peel and serve it in a cup or glass, as we like.
• A light and very refreshing aperitif. This natural fruit cocktail accompanied by a ham tapa is ideal for those hot days or when we feel like treating ourselves a little.
