About
This is my honeydew take on a Mojito, and probably the more obvious direction to go once I had a batch of honeydew cordial sitting in the fridge. White rum, lime, mint, and soda already give you that familiar Mojito framework, but the honeydew slides in really naturally and makes the whole thing a little softer and fruitier. I added just a teaspoon of honey syrup to round things out without covering up the melon. It is bright, super refreshing, and exactly the kind of drink I want packed with crushed ice in the summer.Cheers y’all!
