Pro Tips
-
Make melon syrup by simmering equal parts sugar and water with cantaloupe or honeydew chunks, then strain.
-
Use a light, floral gin for a softer flavor, or something more botanical if you want a bolder edge.
-
Chill all ingredients beforehand so you don’t need too much ice.
-
Try flavored seltzer (like lime or cucumber) if you want a little twist.
