Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Honeydew melon
- 3 ounces Tequila
- 1.5 ounces Triple sec
- 1 ounce (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cups Ice
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for rimming glasses) Salt
- 1 piece (optional, for rimming glasses and garnish) Lime wedge
- 1 piece (optional, for garnish) Honeydew melon slice
Instructions
Prepare the glasses (optional): Run a lime wedge around the rim of two margarita glasses. Pour the salt onto a small plate and dip the rims of the glasses into it to coat. Set the glasses aside.
Add the diced honeydew melon to a blender. Blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Strain the blended honeydew through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp, using a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp.
In a cocktail shaker, combine 6 ounces of strained honeydew juice, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and honey. Stir well to dissolve the honey.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Fill the prepared glasses with ice. Strain the margarita mixture into the glasses, dividing it evenly between the two.
Garnish with a lime wedge and a slice of honeydew melon, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
