Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add cantaloupe, lime juice, and mint leaves to a shaker or mixing glass.
  • Muddle well to release the juices and mint oils.
  • Add cachaça and simple syrup.
  • Fill with ice and shake until chilled.
  • Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
  • Garnish with a small cantaloupe wedge or mint sprig, if desired.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use ripe cantaloupe for a sweeter, juicier drink.
  • If you prefer it less sweet, cut the simple syrup down to 1.5 oz.
  • For a cleaner pour, double strain to remove pulp and mint bits.
  • Chill your glass ahead of time for an extra refreshing finish.
