These delicious fruits burst with flavour during the summer months but if you can’t find a cantaloupe, any round version will do.
Melon caipirinhas
Ingredients
- 1 orange cantaloupe melon, thinly sliced
- 300ml white rum
- 90ml castor sugar
- juice of 2 large lemons
Instructions
1
Lay the melon in a flat rectangularshaped container and drizzle with the rum. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 – 4 hours so that the melon can soak up the alcohol.
2
In a cocktail shaker, mix the sugar with the lemon juice and shake until dissolved. Add the rum from the melons and shake to mix.
3
Divide the mixture between tall glasses and add a few slices of the melon to each glass. Top with crushed ice and use the melon slices as a swizzle stick.
