Ingredients

• 1/2 honeydew melon, peeled, seeded, and chopped into large chunks
• juice of 1 lime
• 3 ounces silver rum
• 1/2-inch piece peeled fresh ginger, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint
• 1 cup ice cubes
• sparkling water (optional, to dilute the rum if desired)

Instructions

1. At least 2 hours before serving, freeze honeydew chunks.
2. When ready to make, add frozen honeydew and all other ingredients to a blender. Blend on medium speed just until slushy (you don't want to completely purée -- it's better with some of those icy crystals remaining!)
3. Pour into two glasses, add straws, drink up!
