From , this recipe serves 8. Use Rocky Ford cantaloupes for the best melon flavor.
Ingredients
3 cantaloupes, cleaned and cubed
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, rinsed, save some mint sprigs for garnish
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 tablespoons honey
2 bottles champagne (or sparkling apple juice or seltzer)
Directions
Combine cantaloupe and mint in a food processor or blender, in batches if necessary. Pour purée through a strainer into a large bowl to remove cantaloupe pulp. Use the back of a wooden spoon to push the purée through the strainer if mixture is too thick. Stir in lime juice and honey. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
When ready to serve, stir in champagne and divide cantaloupe fizz among champagne glasses. Garnish with mint sprigs.
