Honeydew Mint Cooler

Pin RecipePrint Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Makes 1 drink

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cubed ripe honeydew melon
  • 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup or to taste
  • 6 fresh mint leaves plus a sprig for garnish
  • 2 ounces sparkling water chilled
  • crushed ice
  • 3 honeydew balls on a skewer for garnish

Instructions

  • Blend the honeydew with the lime juice until completely smooth, then strain through a fine sieve, pressing on the pulp. You should have about 3 ounces of juice.
  • Press the mint leaves gently with the simple syrup in the bottom of a stemless wine glass, just enough to release their oil.
  • Fill the glass with crushed ice and pour in the honeydew juice.
  • Top with the sparkling water and stir once.
  • Stand the skewer of honeydew balls and the mint sprig in the ice and serve right away.

Good to Know

Taste the strained juice before adding the syrup: a very ripe melon may need none at all.
