This is my favorite new way to enjoy summer cantaloupe. And it's a great way to cool off in summer! Growing mint is rather easy too. We have some in a large pot, and it comes back each year in full force with almost no effort on our part.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe cantaloupe: Look for melons that are heavy for their size and have a deep orange color. Avoid melons that have bruises or soft spots.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint will give your cooler the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your cantaloupe, mint, and sparkling water before making the cooler will help it to be extra refreshing.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your taste: If you like your cooler sweeter, you can add more honey or agave nectar. If you prefer a less sweet cooler, you can omit the sweetener.
  • Serve immediately: Mint Cantaloupe Cooler is best served immediately after it is made. The mint will start to wilt after a few hours, so it's best to enjoy it fresh.

Conclusion:

Coolers are a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy fresh fruits and herbs. This Mint Cantaloupe Cooler is a perfect summer drink, and it's easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. The cantaloupe provides a sweet and juicy flavor, while the mint adds a refreshing touch. The sparkling water gives the cooler a fizzy and bubbly texture.
