We all have a tendency to berate ourselves from time to time, and I am no exception. I figure if I cut myself down, I will beat someone else to the punch. It’s a bad habit, and one I am always trying to curtail. However, this post is not about criticism, it is about praise. Because I may have just created the BEST cocktail ever made. Yay me!
It’s really not fair to the cantaloupe in this recipe to boast about my cocktail-creating abilities. I had the foresight to freeze a couple cups of the sweet juicy melon late in the summer, and finally decided (in the dead, and I mean, DEAD of Winter) to try this warm weather drink. It reminds me a bit of the Pink Fizzy Drink I created awhile ago, in that it’s a frozen concoction topped with champagne. But the Melon Chiller is much lighter and has quite a different flavor (although they are both delicious!)
So today I am patting myself on the back for coming up with the Melon Chiller, even though I did kind of borrow some of the ingredients from a cookbook recipe. I know it’s only January, but go find yourself a ripe cantaloupe and try this cocktail. You won’t regret it, trust me! If you want to wait until the outside chill is gone, that’s your prerogative, but you may be missing out on one of the best cocktails EVER this Winter.
