So the other day I was walking around the produce section and minding my own business, when my eyes fell on a particularly unattractive fruit. It kind of looked like a grapefruit that has been abused by life or maybe manhandled by the store employees, who knows. It turned out that the fruit was called Ugli, which prompted me to buy it immediately, because I like honest fruit. I liked the fact that it wasn’t lying there and calling itself Preeti. It clearly recognized and came to peace with the fact that it was simply Ugli. So I picked out the prettiest Ugli (which I now regret, I should have gone for the ugliest of all Uglis) and headed home. Once there I started googling the Ugli and tried to find out what I could do with it. It turns out that Ugli is a cross between a grapefruit and a tangerine and it has a sweet and juicy pulp. I couldn’t actually find too many recipes involving the Ugli fruit, but then my eyes fell on something that had me screaming: Perfect! What is a time-tried solution to dealing with ugly? Alcohol, of course, lots and lots of alcohol… So this is how Kitchen Crush has acquired its first drink recipe: The Ugly Ugli Mojito.
