Beverage Garnish - Pride @ Home

Utilize melons for a simple but impactful way to garnish your drinks. Bonus points if you freeze them in advance and use as ice cubes. All you need is a melon baller, wooden skewers and a nice summer day!

RED- Watermelon (seedless)
ORANGE- Cantaloupe
YELLOW- Oriental Melon
GREEN- Honeydew
PURPLE- Oriental Melon coated in Red Dragonfruit

HOW TO
Slice the melons in half, and scoop out and discard the middle seeds. Use the melon baller like an ice cream scoop to carve out round scoops of the fruit. Skew through the center of the balls (before you freeze them!) starting with watermelon and working your way down the rainbow. If using red dragonfruit to make the purple color, mash a few tablespoons of the inside in a ziploc bag and throw in the oriental melon balls for a minute to transform the color from yellow to purple. Wrap the finished skewers in saran wrap, and leave in the freezer for 1 hour before serving!
