Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium cantaloupe (or honeydew melon)
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 cup ice
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe (or honeydew melon) in half, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh using a spoon or melon baller. You should have approximately 2 cups of melon cubes.
Place the melon cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. If desired, strain the melon puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp for a smoother drink.
In a large pitcher, combine the melon puree, sparkling water, lime juice, and honey. Stir well to combine.
Fill glasses with ice and pour the melon spritzer mixture over the ice.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lime slices, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of summer!
