water: check.
a sliced up ida red: check.
pineapple: check.
more water: check.
and yet it just wasn't cutting it - i needed ice! so to the freezer i marched only to find right before my eyes a ziplock bag of frozen honeydew melon waiting for me. hallelujah! this called for celebrations. and some melon margarita ice.
into the food processor went 2 cups of frozen melon and the juice of one freshly squeezed lime. that's it. blend it away, stopping to scrape down the sides a few times as you go until no chunks of melon remain. then scoop it into a bowl, or margarita glass if you have one, and top it with a little lime zest and a sprinkle of sea salt. serves two.
so fresh.
so refreshing.
and booze-free so no hangover to boot! giddy up.
next up though - watermelon. come to mama.
I love your take on a booze-free margarita ice! I will definitely be picking up some honeydew melon later this week - this sounds so, so good!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect plan for long summer afternoons! Or maybe for the end of a barbecue--perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this idea. We're working in the yard all weekend, so this will be the perfect thing to cool us down :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous and fresh. What an excellent way to stay cool and nourished this summer!
ReplyDelete♥ It's Carmen
Such a nice idea - any excuse to get some extra fruit down me!
ReplyDeleteNow the "booze free" and "come to mama" all make sense! :)
ReplyDeletehahaha, yes, couldn't help myself but to sneak that in & see if anyone picked up on my clues! ;)
