Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Strawberries
- 1 medium Cantaloupe or honeydew melon
- 240 ml Plum wine
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 5 Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them into halves (or quarters if the strawberries are large). Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the melon in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Using a melon baller or a spoon, carve out small bite-sized pieces of the melon. Add the melon pieces to the bowl with the strawberries.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the plum wine and honey. Stir well until the honey is dissolved completely.
Pour the plum wine mixture over the strawberries and melon. Gently toss to coat all the fruit evenly.
Add the fresh mint leaves and lemon zest to the bowl. Stir gently to combine. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, fill four serving glasses or bowls with a handful of ice cubes. Spoon the strawberries, melon, and wine mixture over the ice cubes.
Garnish with extra mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing Strawberries and Melon in Plum Wine!
