Notes

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.
