Obviously this drink was inspired by the classic cocktail The Melon Ball and the classic 1986 Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School. Ingredients:
ice |
1 part your favorite vodka |
1 part melon liqueur (recommended: midori or generic brand) |
orange juice |
various melon balls ( cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon - using all 3 is called triple-lindy and is definitely money) |
Directions:
1. This drink can be served straight up or on the rocks.
2. If making straight up: To a cocktail shaker, add ice, vodka, melon liqueur, and a splash orange juice; shake vigorously to combine. Strain into a large, chilled martini glass and garnish with melon balls.
3. If making drink on the rocks: Fill rocks glass with ice. Add vodka, melon liqueur and enough orange juice to fill glass. Stir with either a stirrer or straw. Garnish with melon balls.
