PROSCIUTTO AND MELON COCKTAIL















Familiar Flavors often inspire new cocktails for me. In this case, the PROSCIUTTO AND MELON COCKTAIL seemed a natural addition to my list of original libations. I mentioned this tasty summer refresher in my interview in ESQUIRE MAGAZINE's "
Eat Like a Man" feature.

The following recipe makes two cocktails:

1 cup ripe Honeydew Melon
2 oz Midori Melon Liqueur
2 oz Limoncello
3 oz Vodka
1 teaspoon fresh lemon or lime juice
1 cup of ice

- Salt for glass rim
- 2 melon balls wrapped in Prosciutto on 2 skewers

- Blend all ingredients at high speed (frappe)
- Take a small piece of Prosciutto and run around the rim of each glass, dip in salt to lightly coat the rim
- Pour cocktail into glass
- Garnish with a melon ball wrapped in Prosciutto
