A fruity, minty, refreshing punch for a summer party. The mix of juicy honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon chunks make this the ultimate cooler to beat the heat
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped into small chunks
- small bunch mint
- , leaves picked
- 500ml vodka
- juice 6 lime
- , plus wedges to serve
- 200g white caster sugar
- 1-2 small melons (we used ½ honeydew, ½ cantaloupe and ½ watermelon)
- 1l sparkling water, chilled
Method
- Put the cucumber and half the mint in a large bowl or jug, and pour over the vodka. Cover and leave to steep for at least 24 hrs or for up to 1 week in the fridge, stirring every few days. Strain through a fine sieve.
- Pour the vodka, lime juice and sugar into a larger jug. Stir well.
- Using a melon baller, scoop out as many melon balls as you can. Add them to the jug and leave to steep for 30 mins-1 hr in the fridge. Top up with sparkling water and add the remaining mint leaves just before serving with extra lime wedges.
