THORNTON MELON-BALL



Thornton Melon-Ball image

Obviously this drink was inspired by the classic cocktail The Melon Ball and the classic 1986 Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School.

Categories     beverage

Time 5m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ice
1 part your favorite vodka
1 part melon liqueur (recommended: Midori or generic brand)
Orange juice
Various melon balls (cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon - using all 3 is called "Triple-Lindy" and is definitely money)

Steps:

  • This drink can be served straight up or on the rocks.
  • If making straight up: To a cocktail shaker, add ice, vodka, melon liqueur, and a splash orange juice; shake vigorously to combine. Strain into a large, chilled martini glass and garnish with melon balls.
  • If making drink on the rocks: Fill rocks glass with ice. Add vodka, melon liqueur and enough orange juice to fill glass. Stir with either a stirrer or straw. Garnish with melon balls.

GINGER LIME MELON BALLS



Ginger Lime Melon Balls image

I was looking for an easy, cool, summer fruit appetizer for my August wedding reception. My family made all the food for 100 guests by ourselves, so I needed something easy yet memorable. I found this recipe on a "melon web-site", AICR. It was so simple and after doing a tasting of 3 different recipes, this one was the clear favorite. If you've never used crystallized ginger, you should be able to find it in the bulk food section with dried fruits. It is NOT fresh ginger, it's like a soft, sugared, candy. You can't mince it too fine because it gets pretty sticky as you cut it. You can use any kind of ripe melon in season, but I like honeydew and cantaloupe best. Perfect for a picnic, summer brunch or a DIY wedding reception! Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon minced crystallized ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh lime zest
4 cups melon balls (I like to mix honeydew and cantaloupe)
4 sprigs of fresh mint (garnish)

Steps:

  • In small saucepan, combine juice, water, ginger and zest. Set pan over medium-high heat and bring to boil. Boil 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture reduces to 2 tablespoons.
  • Strain mixture though fine sieve to remove zest. (I'm not sure this step is really needed).
  • Place melon in bowl, toss with ginger-lime mixture. Let sit for 15 minutes. You can drain the sauce or serve it with the melon.
  • Garnish with mint (optional).

CANTALOUPE BREAD



Cantaloupe Bread image

I like this toasted with butter or cream cheese. Yum! If you can't find melons in season, you can puree melon balls from your grocers freezer section. This freezes well. Prep and cook time is approximate.
