Ingredients:

Serving

1 melon ( tuscan , cantaloupe , honeydew , or pureheart water ); rind removed, de-seeded and chopped rough
4 heirloom tomatoes (or vine-ripened) chopped rough
1/2 an english cucumber, peeled and de-seeded
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
kosher or sea salt and cracked black pepper , to taste
1 shallot, diced fine
a few fresh mint leaves

Directions:

Purée tomatoes, then press the pulp through a fine mesh strainer; set aside. Purée the melon, cucumber, shallot, mint, vinegar and olive oil together in a blender until smooth, then pass through a fine mesh strainer. Discard any remaining solids; fold together melon purée and tomato purée. Season gazpacho to taste with salt and pepper. Chill in refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes before serving.
Divide soup evenly between small serving bowls/shot glasses/mini glasses. Garnish with a couple of drops of olive oil if, desired. Serve ice cold.
Tips:
1. Chill your shot glasses/mini martini glasses in the freezer before serving -keeps the soup ice cold and gives a cool frosted look.
2. Match your tomato color to the type of melon you are using: watermelon-use red tomatoes, cantalope - use yellow/orange tomatoes, honeydew - use green zebra tomatoes :-)
