• These delicious fruits burst with flavour during the summer months but if you can’t find a cantaloupe, any round version will do.

    Melon caipirinhas

    Serves: 6
    Cooking Time: 10 mins plus extra for soaking

    Ingredients

    • 1 orange cantaloupe melon, thinly sliced
    • 300ml white rum
    • 90ml castor sugar
    • juice of 2 large lemons

    Instructions

    1

    Lay the melon in a flat rectangularshaped container and drizzle with the rum. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 – 4 hours so that the melon can soak up the alcohol.

    2

    In a cocktail shaker, mix the sugar with the lemon juice and shake until dissolved. Add the rum from the melons and shake to mix.

    3

    Divide the mixture between tall glasses and add a few slices of the melon to each glass. Top with crushed ice and use the melon slices as a swizzle stick.
