David Venable

Raise a glass to summer! This melon martini will surely be part of your next sun-filled get-together.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ice
  • 2 oz Belvedere vodka
  • 1 oz Midori liqueur
  • 4 oz honeydew purée
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
  • Lime slice or honeydew chunk, for garnish

Directions

Peel and seed a ripe honeydew melon. Cut the fruit into chunks. Using a blender, purée the melon, making sure there are no residual chunks.
In a cocktail shaker, add the ice, alcohol, fruit purée, juices, simple syrup, and ginger. Mix vigorously and strain into 2 martini glasses. Garnish and serve immediately.

Cook's Notes

Want to know if your honeydew is ripe? The fruit should smell nice and sweet and give slightly when you press on the stem end.
