Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups honeydew melon (cubes or melon balls)- Lightly frozen or chilled in fridge
- 10-12 ounces Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, or other crisp white wine (see notes for Mocktail substitutes)
- 10 ounces sparkling water or tonic water
- Juice of one lime
- 4-5 mint leaves plus extra to garnish
- Honey or maple syrup (for vegan option), to taste
- Lime slices to garnish
Instructions
- Slice the honeydew in half, discard seeds and slice off the rind. Then, cut the flesh into cubes or scoop into melon balls—about 1 to 2-inch pieces.
- Place 1½ to 2 cups of melon in a bowl and chill in the fridge for 3–4 hours or in the freezer for 30–45 minutes.
- Once chilled, add the melon, wine, sparkling beverage, lime juice, mint leaves, and honey to a high-speed blender (or use a handheld blender). Blend until slushy or smooth.
- Store in the refrigerator (or freezer) until ready to serve.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lime before serving.
Notes
Mocktail Option – Substitute wine for apple juice, grape juice, sparkling cider, kombucha, or even non alcoholic wine!
Storage – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir or blend before serving. For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays and reblend with a splash of wine, water, or citrus juice.
