BOOZY MINTED MELON BALLS

Melon balls were the quintessential summer party food when I was growing up, but it wasn't until I was out of college that I had my first melon ball "salad." My current favorite is this recipe that has a mojito-like splash over the melon. Dreamy!

2 1/4 cups fresh pineapple juice
1 1/2 cups light rum (optional)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 4 limes)
