Instructions

Clean and de-seed the jamuns and take them in a blender.
Now add sugar, black salt and 1 cup of water in the blender and blend together.
Pour it in a tall glass and add remaining water and lemon juice and mix well.
Spread the salt in a plate.
Take a lemon wedge and rub it on the brim of shot glasses.
Next place each shot glass upside down in the salt. Salt will stuck on the edge of the glass creating a ring of salt.
Now pour the drink in each glass and garnish with mint sprig.

Recipe Notes

You can also add ice cubes to the drink however I have used chilled water hence avoided it. If you want you can avoid sugar in the drink.

Additional Tips

For an extra burst of flavor and a visually appealing touch, rim your shot glasses with a mixture of black salt and chili powder before pouring in the Jamun shots.
If fresh jamun is not available, you can use frozen jamun or high-quality jamun pulp—just thaw and strain well to remove any seeds or fibrous bits for a smoother drink.
To create a more sophisticated layered effect, add a splash of chilled soda water just before serving; this adds a pleasant fizz and enhances the tanginess.
For a diabetic-friendly version, replace sugar with a natural sweetener like stevia or erythritol, as jamun itself has properties beneficial for blood sugar control.
