Calories: 64kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups (20 oz. / 1¼ lbs. / 590g) cubed honeydew melon
- ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh mint
- 4 teaspoons lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 4 oz. soda water
Instructions
- Add 6 tablespoons water (1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons), the honeydew, mint and lime juice to a blender. Blend, stopping to scrape down the sides of the jar if necessary. Once you think it's smooth, blend another 30 seconds just to make sure.
- Fill 4 glasses with ice and pour in the honeydew mixture. Top each glass with 1 oz. soda water.
Notes
Substitutions and variations
If you don't see any honeydew but you do see some fresh cantaloupe or watermelon that's calling your name, go for it. The amounts and directions won't change.
Basil is almost always a good substitute for mint, which makes sense as basil is actually a kind of mint.
And the lime juice can easily be swapped out for lemon. It's not a dominating flavor, just a bit of citrus to perk up the flavors and round out the sweetness.
Orange juice would probably also be fine.
