Description
A cool, lightly-sweet treat of a drink! And this is not just a delicious thirst-quencher. It easily transforms into a pleasing happy hour drink, too, by just adding a splash of vodka.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cubed Cantaloupe
- ¼ cups Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1 quart Chilled Club Soda
Preparation
Puree cantaloupe with an immersion stick blender (which I find makes it easier to chase the unblended chunks of fruit) or in a regular blender. Pour melon puree into a fine-meshed sieve and collect juice, stirring melon pulp to help release juice. Discard pureed solids. Mix lemon and melon juices together in a pitcher. Chill well. (Can be stored in refrigerator, covered up to 3 days.)
Just before serving, slowly add the juice to the club soda.
(Note: avoid doing it in the reverse and pouring the soda into the juice, as this will produce some not-so-pleasant orange foam!)
