Directions
Step 1
Cut top off melon, leaving ¾ of the melon intact. Using a melon baller, scoop out 8 melon balls and reserve.
Step 2
Using a spoon, scoop out flesh, remove seeds and set melon bowls aside.
Step 3
Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for a few minutes or until the sugar is completely dissolved in the water.
Step 4
Add the mint, remove the pan from the heat, and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
Step 5
Once cool, strain syrup into bowl and discard mint.
Step 6
To a blender, add the remaining melon, lime juice, and mint syrup. Blend on high until smooth.
Step 7
Add 1 cup of ice to the blender and blend on high. Keep adding ice by the handful until the mixture reaches a thickened slushy consistency.
Step 8
Pour into melon bowls, top with melon balls and garnish with mint. Serve immediately.
Pro Tip
To take this from mocktail to cocktail, add ¾ cup white rum when blending together.
