Keith's 1001 Cockatils: Honeydew Melon Bellini

Keith is a Bellini fan he just loves Prosecco wine and most of all he loves Prosecco's pairing with fruits as it inspires him to create a variety of cocktails with a touch of sweetness.. Prosecco is a dry sparkling Italian white wine and delicately compliments well with many fruits such as peaches, strawberries, blueberries, pomegranate , melon etc. Keith's favorite Bellini is "The Honeydew Melon Bellini".

Bellini's are refreshing, bubbly and fruity and are ideal to serve with appetizers.

Ingredients:

5 cups of diced honeydew melon, about ½ of a large melon

2 tbs lime juice

Sugar to taste based on the sweetness of the melon

1 bottle of chilled prosecco, champagne, cava or other sparkling wine

Preparation:

1. Combine the diced honeydew melon with the lime juice and sugar in a blender and blend until you obtain a smooth puree.
2. Strain the puree, chill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.
3. Pour the honeydew melon puree into champagne flutes, no more than half full.
4. Add the prosecco or other sparkling wine, pouring it gently to avoid making a bubbly mess.
5. Stir lightly and serve immediately.

1 1/2 oz. Tequila
1 oz. Triple Sec (or Cointreau if you want to go “top-shelf”)

sea salt for rimming glass

1. Rub the rim of an old fashioned glass (or whatever similar vessel you prefer) with a meyer lemon slice. Swirl the rim through a small pile of kosher or sea salt to salt the rim.

2. Put the meyer lemon juice, tequila, and triple sec in a cocktail shaker, add ice and shake for 15 seconds.

3. Put a few cubes of ice in your glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass and enjoy.

* A little note on Meyer Lemons: Meyer Lemon is a citrus fruit between a lemon and mandarin therefore tends to be a little sweeter and not sour as a lemon. The fruit is yellow and rounder than a true lemon. Famous also for it's ethereal perfume.
