Ingredients
- Mint: small bunch mint, leaves picked
- Lime: juice 6 lime, plus wedges to serve
- Cucumber: 1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped into small chunks
- White Caster Sugar: 200g white caster sugar
- Melon: 1-2 small melons (we used 1/2 honeydew, 1/2 cantaloupe and 1/2 watermelon)
- Vodka: 500ml vodka
- Sparkling Water: 1l sparkling water, chilled
Directions
- 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.
