This past weekend was a scorcher here in Utah and I wish I would have had this recipe lying around to enjoy while relaxing out on the deck. Oh well, there's always tonight! This cocktail is perfect to serve throughout the Summer months when ripe melon is readily available and fresh. All I can say is...Delish!
Punch bowl and glasses
4 cups pineapple juice
2 cups vodka
3/4 cup Midori (melon liqueur)
1/2 cup cream of coconut
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 small cantaloupe, chilled
1/4 small honeydew melon, chilled
1-inch-thick slice of small seedless watermelon, chilled
4 cups crushed ice
Mix all of the liquid ingredients in the punch bowl.
Cut the melons into 1/2-inch balls using the smaller end of a melon baler. Thread the melon balls in combinations onto 8 large cocktail picks or small skewers. If you have more melon than you need, cut additional balls and float them in the punch for added color.
Add the crushed ice to the punch.
Garnish individual glasses with the melon ball swizzles and serve immediately.
