Fresh Melon Cooler Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pitcher, combine wine, melon juice, and melon balls. Chill for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, add ice, stir, pour in soda, and stir lightly again.

Steps:

• Combine the melon, cucumber, sugar, lemon juice and 1 cup water in a blender and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, using a ladle to push the mixture through.

Steps:

• Be a clever cheat and save time and buy a tub of fresh ready prepared melon chunks. Mix the orange juice, Campari or cordial and mint in a bowl. Tip in the melon with any juice, and stir.

Scatter with caster sugar and put in the freezer until ready to serve, about 30 minutes.

Stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups watermelon juice and the lemon juice.
