Ingredients
1
big cantaloupe
very ripe, peeled, cut into cubes
½
cup
simple syrup
2 to 3
cups
water
melon balls for garnish
½ to 1
oz
vodka per glass
depending on your preference
Instructions
Cut cantaloupe into half.
Remove seeds and place in a strainer.
Use a muddler and extract the juice.
Add some water and extract more juice. When done discard seed.
If you want melon balls to garnish the drinks take half of the melon and use a melon baller. Set aside.
Peel the cantaloupe and cut into cubes.
Put in the blender with water and simple syrup.
Pulse a few times then toss-in ice cubes.
Press the smoothie button on the blender.
Taste to see if you need to add more simple syrup.
Note: A very ripe cantaloupe will require less sugar. So this will depend on your taste.
This is the time to get non-alcoholic drinks for the kids and anyone who doesn't like vodka.
Add vodka and garnish drinks with melon balls.
Notes
It is best to use a very ripe cantaloupe and at the same it will require less sugar.
Make sure to refrigerate leftover for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
