Serves 6

Ingredients

Mixed fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, and melon)
4 cups, chopped
Mint leaves
1/4 cup, chopped
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Honey
2 tablespoons
Irish whiskey
1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped mixed fruits, ensuring a colorful variety for visual appeal.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Irish whiskey, honey, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the whiskey mixture over the chopped fruit and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the fruits to absorb the whiskey's essence.
  5. Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the top of the fruit salad for a burst of freshness and added color.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful twist on a classic fruit salad!

Tips

  • 💡 Feel free to customize the fruit selection based on seasonal availability or personal preferences. Stone fruits like peaches or cherries can also be a delicious addition.
  • 💡 For a non-alcoholic version, replace the Irish whiskey with sparkling apple cider or ginger ale for a festive touch.
  • 💡 This salad can be made a day in advance; however, it's best to add the mint just before serving to keep it fresh.
