In the heat of a Puerto Rican summer, Melon Juice is like a breath of fresh air. Made from ripe, juicy cantaloupe (melón), this drink is naturally sweet and incredibly hydrating. Its soft, pastel color and delicate aroma make it a favorite at brunches and family gatherings alike.
This is my lover’s absolute favorite drink! It’s the one treat that always brings a smile to their face, and making it at home feels like a little celebration of our love.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe Cantaloupe (peeled, seeded, and cubed)
- 3-4 cups Water
- ½ cup Sugar (adjust depending on how sweet the melon is)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract (the secret ingredient for that «fiancé-approved» taste!)
- Ice
Methods:
- Prep: Cut the melon in half, scoop out the seeds, and cut the flesh into cubes.
- Blend: Place the melon cubes in the blender with half of the water and the vanilla. Blend until completely smooth.
- Combine: Pour the mixture into a large pitcher and add the remaining water and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least an hour or serve immediately over lots of ice. For a fancy touch, garnish with a small wedge of fresh melon!
