One in a Melon Cocktail with Cheese Pairings
A refreshing blend of melon, tequila, and spicy jam.
This is a special occasion cocktail that stands out from other fruit-forward beverages. First, it relies on melon liqueur for its unique fruity twist and bright green hue. And a dollop of jalapeno and lime jam contributes a dash of spicy complexity that’s always welcome with tequila. Shaken up and served with gorgeous orbs of honeydew and expertly selected cheese pairings, the One in a Melon cocktail lives up to its lofty name.
