There are some recipes that slip through the cracks even though they become a part of our summer traditions. Pyaar Mohabbat Sharbat, or as we call it at home – Mohabbat Ka Sharbat, is one such drink. It’s been our go-to refreshment every summer for the past few years, ever since it flooded Instagram timelines as Delhi’s romantic summer quencher. But somehow, despite making it countless times, it never made its way to the blog — until now.
With the mercury rising and watermelon stacked high in the kitchen, I thought there’s no better time to share this pink beauty. It’s cold, sweet, fruity, floral — basically summer in a glass.
What is Mohabbat Ka Sharbat?
Originally made popular by the street vendors of Jama Masjid in Delhi, this sharbat is a refreshing concoction of rose syrup, chilled milk, sugar, and juicy watermelon cubes. Unlike rose milk alone, the watermelon chunks in every sip give it a juicy texture and surprise that makes it special. It became a sensation across food reels and YouTube channels around 2021, and rightly so.
