Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups blended cantaloupe
  • 1/2 cup silver tequila I used Camarena Tequila
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 2 T lemonade
  • 1 T honey
  • 1 T sugar
  • cubed ice
  • Garnish:
  • 1 T kosher or maragarita salt
  • lime wedge
  • sprig of mint
  • 2 cantaloupe melon balls
  • 1 toothpick

Instructions
 

  • Rim the cocktail glass with a lime wedge and then salt.
  • Blend cantaloupe in your blender on puree setting until very smooth. This may take a couple minutes.
  • Pour blended cantaloupe in a large cocktail shaker.
  • Add tequila, lime juice, lemonade, honey, and sugar.
  • Shake vigourously.
  • Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish.

Notes

Tip: Spray your measuring spoon with a little cooking spray before measuring the honey. The spray helps the honey pour from the spoon leaving very little extra on the spoon.
