Alright, we're all set. All of the presents are wrapped and waiting in the car. We can pick up the ice cream cake on the way. That's everything right? Okay let's get in the car and head over…€¦..oh no! We forgot to make the punch for Sally's birthday party! Her mother was very specific that I was too make the punch. She's going to be so pissed at me. Ugh, the party is going to be ruined…€¦unless...yes that's it! Every down stairs to the deli!

Okay how much fruit do we have laying around? Well that is a lot of variety of fruit (an apple, pineapple, half a lime, a little guava, some mango, orange, a banana, apricot and one passionfruit), but there is not enough of the fruit to make more than a quart of juice. It looks like we're going to have to spread it out with some veggies. Okay grab some cucumber, spinach, carrots, beetroot, green pepper and celery. No Jimmy! Oh man why did you throw in an onion and some sauerkraut! That is going to be completely disgusting! Whatever it's too late now we need to bring this punch to the party. Blend it up!

Wow that really is green isn't it? It looks almost nuclear. It's so bright green. I can't get over it. It also doesn't smell bad at all either. Hopefully the taste is half of what the smell is. That way I think we'll be okay. Wow! This is seriously good. Not like, this is passable good, but this is so good that I wish we had written the quantities down so that I could make it again. You don't really taste the veggies at all. It tastes like apple and orange juice missed together with a pinch of passionfruit and a bit of cucumber. Even though we didn't add any sugar it's very sweet and refreshing. The kids at this party are going to love this, especially because of the color. We are going to be the hit of the party. No one mention what is in it! Jimmy, especially don't mention your blunder!

America. Why don't you embrace the flavors of melons: honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon, and so on? They're good guys. Why would you leave them out of your lineups? Did they do something wrong? It's not like we, Americans, don't buy these fruits. So why would you assume that we don't want the same fruits in juice form? India knows what their people want and created this little guy.

That being said, it was kind of a poor execution. It tastes like someone got a hold of those Monin flavor concentrates and just put it in a glass of water. It tastes very syrupy, even though it's real sugar. Even still, there was like 26% juice, which was actually surprising. It did taste like watermelon in small sips, but in big sips it got quite gross fast.

If you're feeling melon-y, get one of these. They come in a three pack and might be $1.50 at your local Indian grocer. It's worth that, but not a penny more.
