Cantaloupe Margaritas

For the homemade margarita mix:

  • 4 oz lime juice
  • 4 oz water
  • 1/4 cup sugar

For the margarita:

  • 1 lb cantaloupe wedges (1/2 a 3lb cantaloupe, seeds and skin removed)
  • 4 oz orange liqueur
  • 6 oz silver tequila
  • Salt, for rimming (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the lime juice to a pitcher.
  2. Over medium heat in a small sauce pan, heat sugar and water, stirring until clear.
  3. Remove from heat and add to the lime juice.
  4. In a food processor or blender, process the cantaloupe for ~60 seconds until completely obliterated into a fine pulp (you might need to add a few pieces at a time if using a blender).
  5. Pour pulp into a fine mesh strainer set over a large measuring cup or small bowl and strain, lightly pressing the solids until you get 1 cup of liquid.
  6. Add cantaloupe juice to the pitcher, along with tequila and orange liqueur.
  7. Serve in salt-rimmed glasses, over crushed ice.
