Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp grated, peeled, and seeded English cucumber
  • 1 1/3 cup honeydew melon, chopped
  • 10-12 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 oz white rum
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine water, sugar, and ¼ cup grated cucumber to make the simple syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir the remaining ¼ cup grated cucumber into the syrup. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then strain and discard the solids.
  3. Blend the honeydew melon in a blender and strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve. Reserve the juice and discard the solids.
