If you ask me, cantaloupe is completely underrated. The delicious melon is not used nearly enough in recipes or cocktails. Let’s change that, shall we. For cocktail lovers with adventurous palates, here’s a medley of flavors to mix things up a bit.

The melon is refreshing, the raspberry is sweet, the grapefruit juice is tart, the vodka is spicy, and the rum is warm and citrusy. It’s like all the feels that you just must experience for yourself.
