Honeydew Honey Deuce
This Honeydew Honey Deuce recipe is inspired by the famous US Open cocktail, but with a delicious melon spin!
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 3 oz Vodka
- 3/4 oz Melon Liqueur such as Midori
- Lemonade
- Honeydew Melon Balls
Instructions
- To start, prep by making the honeydew balls. Cut a honeydew melon in half, then scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Using a melon baller, cut out as many as you can. Freeze the remaining honeydew to use in smoothies!
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add in the vodka and melon liqueur, and shake until the shaker is ice cold.
- To serve without ice (martini-style), pour mixture evenly between two glasses. Top both glasses with enough lemonade to fill, then serve with balls of honeydew.
- To serve with ice, fill two cocktail glasses to the brim with ice. Pour mixture evenly between the two glasses, then top with enough lemonade to fill, and serve with balls of honeydew.
Notes
- Because the Midori is sweetened, you won't need simple syrup for this recipe!
- Use the highest quality (preferably homemade) lemonade that you can in this recipe. As Grey Goose says, "Premium ingredients will make for a premium cocktail." :)
