Perfect summer drink for an outside happy hour! Let Clean and Pink clean your house while sipping this summer cocktail! Here is how you make it…
This vodka and Midori cocktail is traditionally made with orange juice but depending on your preference you can substitute pineapple or grapefruit for the OJ in this recipe.
Now let’s put a kitchen gadget into play. If you have one in your drawer this is the time put your melon baller to its proper use. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and fill with a single layer of melon balls. If you don’t have a melon baller you can simply cube the ripe honeydew instead. Place the sheet pan in the freezer until the balls (or cubes) are completely frozen for tasty fruit ice cubes that are perfect for keeping this cocktail cool.
If you’re short on time or just prefer plain ice cubes, go ahead and garnish this drink with skewered melon balls or just drop a few in the glass. To give this classic a new twist you can add a sprig of mint to your drink. Mint and melon are just one of those flavor combinations that are meant to be together.
Mint or no mint, this drink is the perfect choice for melon lovers. Pair this cocktail with a simple cheese platter and a side of assorted nuts for a very civilized happy hour.
The Melon Ball Ingredients:
- 2 ounces Midori
- 1 ounce vodka
- Fresh-squeezed orange juice, for topping off
- Fresh scooped melon balls, for garnish, optional
- Fresh Mint leaves for garnish
