Brides shared one cocktail recipe in particular that just sounds so delicious, I couldn’t resist sharing it with you! So, what’s this little baby called?
The magnificently mellow melon ginger float
Yep, that’s what Brides magazine called it. And with a name like that, I couldn’t imagine it wouldn’t taste as equally delicious as it sounded! So, I decided to give this cocktail a trial run of my own.
To whip up one of these refreshing beauties, you will need 2 ounces of vodka (your choice), 1 ounce of ginger beer, 1 ounce of fresh orange juice and 2 ounces of cantaloupe sorbet. It’s kind of like a fresh and hip rendition of a screwdriver, and it’s so universally appealing that I’d bet all your guests will love it! It’s sweet, but not too sweet, which I have always found to be a rare quality of cocktails.
So, just grab up all those ingredients in a shaker, throw in a handful of ice and get to shakin’! After a minute or so of working out those arms, strain out the contents into a frosty glass. To take your presentation to the next level, you can top it off with a sprig of crystallized mint and maybe even a couple cantaloupe melon balls to bob about.
This cocktail creation is sure to create a buzz on your big day, because, really, who doesn’t like fruit, vodka and beer? It’s a winning combination if I’ve ever heard one!
