Don’t forget the sugar! With all that lemon flavoring, you will need to sweeten it up. I have never tried it with sugar substitutes, so I can’t say if it works as well. We’re excited to announce we have taken on the UK marketing and distribution of Melonade, the artisan Provençale fruit aperitif. Part of the Ælred Spirits range, Melonade is crafted from select melons grown in the Provence town of Cavaillon and blended in an abbey in the South of France. They still use the same distillation process first developed by French monks.

Melonade has wonderful, fun branding; here to ‘bring colour to your summer’. It really is the perfect light drink for the season, only containing 12% ABV. The excellent liquid speaks for itself. Melonade has won tonnes of awards including a Double Gold at the 2019 Berlin International Spirits Competition, Gold at the Berlin International Spirits Competition 2018, Silver at the San Francisco Spirits Competition 2018 and Bronze in London International Spirits Challenge 2018-2019. Cannabinol, or CBN, is a trace element in cannabis that is considered to be mildly psychoactive. It appears from oxidation THC, exposed to light and heat. CBN is mostly contained in old cannabis and in traditional hashish. It is effective against insomnia, bacterial infections and appetite loss. Valencene is a terpene that got its name from Valencia oranges - a fruit where It's initially found. Valencene offers citrusy, sweet aromas, with flavors having notes of oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, and, occasionally, fresh herbs or freshly cut wood. Citrus aromas, frequently found in a wide variety of cannabis strains, are contributed to by valencene, which is known for anti-inflammatory and insect repelling properties. Throughout Melonade, select members of the audience take part in games poking fun at the Conservative government’s failure to respect neurodivergent and otherwise creatively-minded pupils. These included popping balloons full of money while wearing masks of Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove; a Pictionary-style game focusing on dyslexia in society (Turner is dyslexic); and, for me, a spelling game gone wrong. Winners get gold stars; losers are forced to wear dunce caps until the show’s grand finale, where the contestants return to harvest melon juice with tools of their choice. Humulene (also known as α-humulene) is one of the major terpenes found in cannabis, contributing to woody, earthy, spicy, herbaceous, and, mainly, floral aromas of cannabis. Used in modern medicine, humulene offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and appetite suppressant effects, which have been well-researched by pharmaceutical companies.

Despite the good message, Melonade faces a few issues. Some of the “fun” is a little forced, and the crowd is expected to whoop, cheer and bring the house down from the very first second, before anything has been done to earn that. The result is that it very much feels like it’s down to the audience to make the experience fun, so seeing it on a Friday night could be very different to a Tuesday night. Pinene is one of the most widespread terpenes in nature, found in pine trees, basil, nutmeg, parsley, and rosemary. Cannabis containing terpene ( alpha-pinene or α-pinene) boasts a strong pine scent. Pinene is responsible for anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and anti-anxiety effects. So, is Melonade a good strain? All-rounder strains that provide awesome effects, great flavor, quality bud, and long-lasting highs generally don’t come cheap, and it’s for this reason that the Melonade strain price is completely justified. This is the perfect bud to give you that mid-afternoon pep that’ll send your mind into euphoric overdrive yet still allow you to continue on with your day focused. We knew spritzes were popular in the UK: according to the CGA, summer sales of Aperol increased 52% when compared with the same period last year. Armed with this information, we set off to the press to introduce them to the most delicious spritz recipe they’d tried yet.

As an experience, Melonade proves refreshing, provided you’re in the right circumstances. However, it’d be more beneficial if you just drank water and recognised the school system is inherently ableist and it isn’t because one singular Tory messed it up. Ocimene (derived from the Ancient Greek word Ocimum meaning basil) is a terpene with sweet and herbaceous flavors, also boasting citrusy and woody undertones. Naturally, ocimene occurs in mint, parsley, orchids, hops, kumquats, mangoes, basil, bergamot, lavender, and pepper. Offers antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. Bisabolol (also known as α-Bisabolol or levomenol) is a lesser-known terpene found in cannabis. It contributes to anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, antioxidant, anti-microbial, and analgesic properties of weed strains containing bisanol. Attentive smokers would be able to catch a nutty, fruity scent with herbal and floral undertones, with a tender trace of coconut. Melonade is a 70% VG blend, meaning it works best in sub ohm tanks and kits to produce big clouds with an even bigger flavour. Cannabigerol, or CBG, is one of the minor cannabis compounds in adult plants. On the other hand, young ones contain a lot of this antibacterial and anti-inflammatory component. During the growth, CBG is converted into different cannabinoids, mostly THC and CBD. The compound itself increases appetite and decreases eye pressure.Serving –Once you have a nice, smooth consistency, add about five cups of the puree to a pitcher, and add water and either lemon juice or true lemon flavoring. Limonene (also known as d-limonene) is the second most common terpene in nature and the third most common terpene in cannabis. It has a powerful citrus aroma and can be found in all citruses, including lemons, oranges, grapefruits, limes, juniper, etc. Limonene is known to elevate moods and provide anxiety, depression, and stress relief. Water –This helps dilute the watermelon and lemon flavor. Leaving it a bit liquidy and slushy all in one. Expect melons, lemons and a rigged and raucous game show that exposes the academic bias of our education system, debunking myths about “soft subjects”, empowering the neurodiverse community and highlighting a need for a serious change in the way in which we educate and assess students. Lemon flavoring –I like to use lemon juice or true lemon flavoring because quite frankly, I don’t love squeezing lemons. But you can totally use fresh lemon juice too! Usually, you can get a couple of good tablespoons of juice out of each lemon.
