Directions

Click:

  1. To a blender, add the melon, lime juice, and fresh ginger. Blend until smooth.
  2. To create the optional decorative rim, run a lime wedge around the rims of your serving glasses. Pour some sugar on a small plate and dip the edge of the glass in the sugar- and voilà! You've got a decorative rim!
  3. Divide the crushed ice between the glasses, and top it with the cucumber slices.
  4. Pour overtop two parts blended melon mixture, to one part carbonated water. Add agave syrup to taste, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Variations: add a few leaves of fresh mint or basil to the blender for a unique twist.

Storage

  • Best if enjoyed immediately. The blended melon can be stored in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 1 day.

Thank you guys! More power :)
