Are you ready for the weekend? I am! I don’t know about you, but some weeks feel longer than others, and this has definitely been a LONG week. Between recovering from a quick trip out to L.A. last weekend, a slight snafu at summer camp for my oldest yesterday, and tending to sick kids, this week has really kept me on my toes. This mom needs a restful weekend…and maybe a refreshing Melon Cocktail, too.
Never had a Melon Cocktail before? You’re missing out! Packed with fresh fruit this drink is a keeper and a must have on your summer drink menu!
The Honeydew in this drink gives it a light, crisp flavor which is accentuated by a pineapple twist. It’s a whole lot of “yum” in a glass, perfect for poolside, your next gathering, or just relaxing by yourself after the kids are in bed. It’s easy to mix up too, requiring little effort and just a few basic ingredients…perfect for that relaxing weekend I have planned.
If you love Honeydew Melon, like I do, this drink is a must try. And I’m pretty sure if you try it once, you’re going to want to make it again…and again…and again. See the recipe below so you can try this perfect for summer drink!
You will need:
1/2 cup Honeydew Melon
1/2 cup Pineapple
1/3 cup Pineapple juice
1oz Malibu
1oz Bacardi
1oz Absolute Citron Vodka
Lemon (for garnish)
Lime (for garnish)
Step 1 – Chop your Pineapple, melon, and pineapple juice and place in a blender. Puree your fruit for 1 minute, until frothy. Be careful not to over-blend, 1 minute should be plenty.
Step 2 – Fill your glass 3/4 of the way with ice and add Malibu, Bacardi, and Absolute Citron Vodka. Pour your melon mix on top of the ice and liquor mix and stir well.
Step 3 – Garnish with lemon and lime. Serve, sip, and enjoy!
What do you have planned for this weekend?
