I love fruit when is plenty of flavor and sweetness. It is suppose that season´s fruit must be much better, but actually the last ones I bought this summer disappointed me a bit. I don´t know if conclude they weren´t in their ripening’s optimum moment or simply they weren’t highquality’s pieces, what I can say for sure is almost all was insipidus. But I don’t throw anything that I can take advantage of in any way, and I decided to do this fruits cocktail with cinnamon and lemon syrup.

It’s actually a very good idea making this cocktail because you can keep it into the fridge, ready to take and enjoy in any moment. If you want to convince the children they have to take fruit, you will get it before if you present them in this way. If the pieces are naturally sweet, as we get used when we try tropical fruits, you don’t have to add syrup, honey or another sweetener, but if you have to do it, here I give you a solution.

It is a soft light syrup with a touch of cinnamon and lemon that will improve the hided flavor of the fruits. Many of them are season’s fruit that you find at summer here in Spain. I usually buy the other because they are between my favorites. You can prepare this mix with your favorite fruit, so you are completely free to choose whatever you want.
