Ingredients

  • ¼ oz melon syrup see note #1
  • ½ oz citric melon see note #2
  • 1 oz melon gin
  • 2 oz Prosecco
  • melon slice for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill cocktail shaker with ice; add melon syrup, citric melon and gin. Shake 15 times, then strain into a champagne flute or coupe glass. Top with Prosecco and garnish with a melon slice.

Notes

  1. To make melon syrup, mash 1 cup chopped cantaloupe with ½ cup granulated sugar in a bowl. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours or up to overnight. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing to release all the liquid, and discard the pulp. Keep refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
  2. To make citric melon, combine 1 cup chopped cantaloupe with 2 tbsp water in a blender and purée until smooth, adding 1 tbsp more water at a time if needed. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing to release all the liquid, and discard the pulp. Stir in 2 tsp citric acid. Keep refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
