This looks and sounds delicious. I can’t wait until spring when the fruit in this area is fresh to try this recipe. Looks like it would be refreshing to sit out on the deck and relax with this dessert.
Thanks a lot! Im traveling Bogota now and I Love this dessert. I have a Salpicon everyday!
I always want to know how make this delicious cooktail but Im confused about what That red water is. (It was watermelons!)
Anyway I think I can make this coctail perfectly now:-) Thank you again and have a great day!
You can make the salpicón with watermelon juice, some Colombians use(Colombiana) a red soda from colombia.
I made this salpicon for my kids and they were so happy….they really loved it. Thanks you for your wonderful Colombian food recipes.
The best ice cream shop that makes this delicious treat is in Medellion, Colombia. The lady that owns the shop adds a little passion fruit juice to the mix, puts the ice cream in the sundae glass first, pours the fruit over the ice cream, tops it with La Lachera (sweetened condensed milk), sticks a vanilla wafer in the side and will sprinkle on some shredded mild white Colombian cheese, if you wish. It’s absolutely to die for! We say hi to the family and then head straight to her place when we visit! It’s impossible to fully mimick in the States because our fruit is never as fresh and sweet as theirs, but you can come close.

The first time a went to Bucaramanga Colombia, my wife treated me to this “salpicon” and believe me, this is the best fruit coctail I have ever had. I tried it along and with ice cream and it is GREAT with the latter. Thanks for putting this recipe on the web. Now we can have it here in the USA.
