Minted Melon Fruit Salad
If you thought Eli Mason Cocktail Mixers were only for cocktails, you'd be mistaken. Yes, we know we call them "cocktail mixers," but they're great for all kinds of recipes.
We make our Mint Julep Cocktail Mixer with bundles of fresh, fragrant mint. We steep it slowly to capture the bright flavors of the mint in each bottle.
Those flavors are perfectly-paired with all kinds of fresh fruit, especially ripe summertime melons.
You can use any melon you wish with this recipe, though we love the combination of the 'holy trinity' of summer melons - watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew.
INGREDIENTS:
6 cups Fresh Melon Pieces
1/4 cup Eli Mason Mint Julep Cocktail Mixer
Fresh Mint Leaves for Garnish
In a bowl, add your cut melon pieces. Pour the Mint Julep Cocktail Mixer over melon and toss to combine. Sprinkle with fresh mint and serve.
