BOOZY MELON THREE WAYS
For the ultimate easy, boozy summer dessert, pair different melons with different liquors and top with fresh herbs. We like watermelon with tequila and mint, honeydew with gin and tarragon, and cantaloupe with vodka and basil. Sprinkle each with lime juice and flaky sea salt. Make one or make all three!

BOOZY FROZEN PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE
I've created a few frozen hot chocolates in my day, but this boozy version ranks up there as No. 1-especially if you're a chocolate-peppermint lover. I totally am, especially at this time of year. But if you don't like mint with chocolate, you can add another flavor here and swap out the peppermint. Maybe a coffee liqueur? Maybe a white chocolate liqueur? Maybe even bourbon or spiced rum.

Steps:
- Heat the milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat, just until the edges are bubbling. Stir in the chopped chocolate and turn off the heat. Stir until the chocolate melts. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, then stick the pot in the fridge to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- Remove the pot and add the chocolate mixture to a blender. Add the schnapps and 2 cups of ice and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour evenly between 2 glasses and top with whipped cream and crushed peppermints.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm melons: This will ensure that the melon balls are juicy and flavorful. You can use any type of melon you like, but some popular choices include cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon.
- Use a melon baller to create the melon balls: This is the easiest way to get evenly sized melon balls. If you don't have a melon baller, you can use a small spoon to scoop out the melon balls.
- Soak the melon balls in lime juice and vodka: This will help to infuse the melon balls with flavor and make them more refreshing.
- Add some mint leaves to the melon balls: The mint will add a refreshing flavor to the melon balls and help to balance out the sweetness of the melon.
- Serve the melon balls chilled: This will help to keep them refreshing and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Boozy minted melon balls are a delicious and refreshing summer treat. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a healthy snack. The melon balls are infused with lime juice and vodka, and they are topped with mint leaves for a refreshing flavor. If you are looking for a fun and easy summer recipe, this is the one for you!
