Steps:
- Rub a lime wedge on rims of 8 glasses, then dip rims in superfine sugar.
- Cut 3 melon quarters into 1-inch chunks. Puree melon in a food processor until smooth. Strain puree through a cheesecloth-lined sieve, and discard solids. (You should have about 4 cups.) Using a 1-inch melon baller, scoop balls from remaining quarter, and reserve.
- Bring granulated sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, and add mint. Let stand at room temperature, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, and discard mint leaves. (You should have a scant 1/3 cup syrup.)
- Combine melon puree, mint syrup, rum, and lime juice in a pitcher, and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes. Add ice to pitcher, and divide among glasses. Garnish each with melon balls, mint sprigs, and lime wedges, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm melons with smooth skin and no bruises or soft spots.
- Use a melon baller to create uniform melon balls. If you don't have a melon baller, you can use a small spoon.
- Soak the melon balls in rum and lime juice for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help to infuse the melon balls with flavor.
- Serve the melon balls chilled. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
Conclusion:
Melon balls with rum and lime are a refreshing and delicious summer treat. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a fruit salad. With their beautiful colors and flavors, they are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
