This recipe makes enough for 2 because it really should be shared with at least one other person. Straining the mixture will give you a smoother drink. Oscar and I started this at first, but then got too impatient and decided to skip it. After sitting in the refrigerator for a while to chill, the pulp rose to the top of the pitcher, but we just stirred it back in before pouring it into glasses.
Makes 2 servings
10 minutes preparation time, plus time for chilling
2 cups cubed cantaloupe
1 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon lime juice
Blend all of the ingredients in a blender on high speed. If you're short on time, add several ice cubes to the water before blending it. If you'd like a smooth drink, pour the mix through a strainer. Chill for an hour or two. Serve over ice.
