Honeydew Fizz
Recipe information
Yield
serves 2
Ingredients
1/2 large honeydew melon (about 3 pounds)
1/2 cup Midori or other melon liqueur
1 cup seltzer water, chilled
Preparation
Step 1
With a large spoon, scrape out and discard the honeydew seeds. Using a 3/4-inch melon baller, scoop out 10 balls; place in a large sealable plastic container. Pour the Midori over the melon balls; transfer to the freezer, and let macerate about 1 hour.
Step 2
Meanwhile, place the remaining honeydew in a blender, and puree until smooth. Let stand until the juice settles to the bottom of the blender and the foam rises to the top. Skim off the foam, and measure out 1/2 cup juice.
Step 3
Remove the honeydew-ball mixture from the freezer; stir in the juice and seltzer. Divide evenly between 2 cocktail glasses; serve immediately.
