A Retro Melon Cocktail
I developed this cocktail for a springtime, outdoor birthday party for a friend. This drink feels so retro to me. I remember when I was a kid, my mom would occasionly make a drink by mixing a little melon liquor with 7-Up. It seemed so fancy. The color was special. With Mad Men back on for the season, I snagged a bottle and set out to make a light, fresh afternoon cocktail. So simple . . .
Recipe:
- 1/2 bottle dry white wine
- 1/2 bottle of melon liquor
- 1/2 bottle of 7-Up
- 1/2 cup diced honeydew melon
- 1/2 cup diced cantelope
Mix in a pitcher. Refrigerate.
