Watermelon And Cantaloupe Wedges With Lime Mint Syrup Recipes
BOOZY MELON THREE WAYS
For the ultimate easy, boozy summer dessert, pair different melons with different liquors and top with fresh herbs. We like watermelon with tequila and mint, honeydew with gin and tarragon, and cantaloupe with vodka and basil. Sprinkle each with lime juice and flaky sea salt. Make one or make all three!

WATERMELON-LIME-MINT COOLER
Taking a sip of this refreshing drink feels like a dip in the pool on a steamy day. It's inspired by the fruity Mexican drink agua fresca and is made with chopped watermelon, mint syrup, fresh lime juice, and a handful of ice.
