Notes

  • You can start with less cane sugar and add more to adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
  • Use a ripe, sweet melon such as cantaloupe or honeydew for the best flavor.
  • For a more intense flavor, zest the lime just before use to preserve its oils.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more cold water when blending.
  • This drink is best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
