Helpful Tips and Variations
- If honeydew melons are not in season, you can use cantaloupe or any sweet melon as a substitute.
- For a more tropical twist, add a splash of coconut water to the mix.
- Turning this drink into a party treat is easy—serve it in a punch bowl with plenty of ice, mint leaves, and lime slices for guests to help themselves.
- For a truly chilled experience, freeze the melon cubes for a few hours before blending.
Storage and Substitutions
- Leftover honeydew lime juice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Give it a good stir before serving.
- If you want a vegan option, replace the honey with agave syrup or just skip it entirely.
- Frozen honeydew chunks can be a great substitute if fresh ones are not available. Just reduce the amount of ice used.
Pairings and Complements
