Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Blender, shaker, strainer, martini glasses

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 cup ripe honeydew melon cubed
  • 2 oz vodka you can use flavored vodka like vanilla or citrus for a twist
  • 1 oz Midori melon liqueur
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice or lemon juice for a brighter flavor
  • 1 tsp honey or simple syrup adjust to taste
  • Ice cubes
  • Honeydew melon balls for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Method:
  • Step 1: Prepare the Honeydew
  • Start by cubing a ripe honeydew melon. You want about 1 cup of juicy honeydew.
  • Tip: If you want extra melon flavor, freeze the melon cubes for a couple of hours before blending to make the martini extra cold without watering it down.
  • Step 2: Blend the Honeydew
  • Add the honeydew cubes to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Tip: Strain the blended melon if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • Step 3: Mix the Cocktail
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the following:
  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz Midori
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 1 tsp honey or simple syrup
  • A few ice cubes
  • Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until everything is well-mixed and chilled.
  • Note: If you don’t have a shaker, a mason jar with a lid works as a great alternative!
  • Step 4: Strain and Serve
  • Strain the mixture into chilled martini glasses. Add a honeydew melon ball or a lime wedge for garnish.
  • Step 5: Enjoy!
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Honeydew Martini with the girls! 🍈🍸
  • Variations & Tips:
  • Mocktail Version: If you're making this for girls who prefer a non-alcoholic option, swap the vodka and Midori with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. You still get that delicious honeydew flavor without the alcohol kick.
  • Low-Sugar Option: To make this martini more diabetic-friendly, use a sugar-free simple syrup or a natural sweetener like Stevia instead of honey.
  • Dietary Needs: If you’re gluten-sensitive, make sure the vodka you're using is labeled gluten-free. Most plain vodkas are, but flavored ones can sometimes contain hidden gluten.
