Spicy Cantaloupe Martini

This Spicy Cantaloupe Martini is as refreshing as it is boozy. (very) It's truly the perfect combination of fresh cantaloupe, jalapeno, and lime juice. Shake it up with elder flower liqueur and vodka, and enjoy this delightful summer cocktail!

How to make it

Most of my favorite cocktails require muddling and shaking, and this Spicy Cantaloupe Martini is no exception. There's nothing better than using the natural sweetness of fresh fruit as the primary sweetener of a drink. And shaking it makes the drink ice cold and frothy.

2 slices of muddled jalapenos bring the perfect amount of spice to the softer/sweeter taste of freshly muddled cantaloupe. Lime provides the acidic punch, and elderflower/ St. Germain provides the floral note. This cocktail is nothing if not balanced!

So for this recipe, all you have to do is:

1. Muddle the cantaloupe and jalapeno with fresh lime juice
2. Shake it up with ice, vodka, and St. Germain.
3. Pour it into a martini glass and garnish (if you want to)
