Description
Cantaloupe melon (left) and galia melon (right).
Frozen Melon Margarita is a wonderful summer-cocktail for hot days. A brilliant green-yellowish colour from the melon and an ice cold and homogeneous consistence like sorbet characterises this fruity and great looking tequila cocktail. A touch of tequila and the taste of melons determine the flavour, refined by triple sec, lemon juice and lemon syrup. A great surprise as an afternoon or dessert cocktail for your next visitors.
The best results are achieved with a ripe and sweet sugar melon like e.g. galia melon, cantaloupe or canary melon.
In a blender multiple portions can be prepared at the same time, that's why we recommend it for many people.

Preparation
Method: Blending with ice
Bar equipment: Blender
1.
Sugar or salt rim
A crusta looks really great and complements Frozen Melon Margarita perfectly. With a sugar or salt rim it's best practise to start preparing the glasses before you actually begin mixing the drink.
2.
Melon decoration
We recommend a piece of melon for decoration. So, cut off a chunk of melon, make a vertical cut in the middle and place it on the glass rim.
3.
Preparation of the melon
Next, cut down and seed the melon. To prepare the whole melon straight after purchase and putting it into a freezer has the advantage of having it conserved and the recipe variation "with frozen melon" tastes even fruitier.
4.
Blending
Place the melon cubes, tequila, triple sec, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a blender along with a glass of crushed ice and mix it for 30-60 seconds on maximum power. Your goal is a homogeneous and viscid liquid. With ice cubes you have to blend longer to avoid remaining ice rocks.

Our survey shows that there are some people out there preferring a salt rim and for most of those a sugar rim is not a problem. On the other hand, most of those favouring a sugar crusta don´t like Frozen Melon Margarita with a salt rim. Either way, try it out or play safe and serve it with a sugar rim.
It's an American habit to make the crusta only on one half of the rim. Like that you could prepare one half with sugar and the other with salt. Usually with this technique, you leave one half empty that it's possible to drink it without crusta.
In our opinion an entyre custa looks better, tastes better and sticks better to the glass. A straw can help for those with an aversion against crustas.
Tips
Fine adjustment
Decoration / Serving
Indeed wine glasses look great, but the edge is a bit too short for a long lasting sugar or salt rim.
Margarita, Martini or cocktail glasses are most appropiate for Frozen Melon Margarita. Present it with crusta and a slice of melon.
A good presentation and an adequate environment are as important as the taste of cocktails. Use our decoration tool to test different decorations and glasses.
