Orange-Cantaloupe Amaretto Cocktail
Orange-Cantaloupe Amaretto Cocktail
Ingredients
- ½ cantaloupe
- 1 long lemon zest, removed with a peeler
- 1 ½ cups (375 ml) ice cubes, crushed
- ½ cup (125 ml) cantaloupe juice
- 1 oz (30 ml) amaretto
- 1 oz (30 ml) orange liqueur
- ½ oz (15 ml) lemon juice
Instructions
- On a work surface, peel the cantaloupe half and remove the seeds. Using a vegetable peeler, remove two long ribbons from the cantaloupe to make the flower garnish. Cut the remaining cantaloupe into cubes.
- In a blender, purée the cantaloupe cubes until smooth. Strain trough a fine sieve, without pressing on the pulp, to extract the juice. Compost the pulp.
- Roll the cantaloupe ribbons one around the other to form a flower shape. Thread a toothpick through the flower to hold it in place. Place the lemon zest in the centre of the flower.
