A classic mojito gets a pretty, melony upgrade in this refreshing summer drink. You'll blend honeydew and then mix it with rum, mint, and lime juice. It needs less sugar than a classic mojito thanks to the sweet fruit. Just be sure to start with a ripe, juicy melon for maximum flavor. This recipe also makes for a dynamite mocktail; simply skip the rum and top the drinks with soda water.

Ingredients

3 cups chopped honeydew melon (from 1 melon), plus thin melon wedges for garnish
¾ cup (6 oz.) white rum
¼ cup packed fresh mint leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
2 cups ice, preferably crushed, plus more for filling glasses
½ cup fresh lime juice (from 5 limes)
1 tablespoon plus 1 tsp. light agave nectar

Directions

Step 2
Place rum and mint leaves in a large cocktail shaker. Muddle with the bottom of a wooden spoon or a muddler until mint starts to break down, about 1 minute. Add honeydew puree, ice, lime juice, and agave. Shake until chilled, about 15 seconds.
Step 3
Fill 4 glasses with more ice; strain honeydew mixture evenly into glasses. Garnish with mint sprigs and melon wedges.
