# What You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 lime, squeezed for juice
02 -
1/4 cup plain sugar
03 -
A handful of fresh mint leaves
04 -
3 shots vodka
05 -
Pinch of salt (as much as you like)

2 pounds cantaloupe, chopped in cubes

1/4 cup water
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Pour the cold slush into your favorite glasses. Add a little garnish if you want. Enjoy it right away.
02 -
Drop the cantaloupe from the freezer into your blender with the syrup, lime juice, vodka, and salt. Blend it up until you've got a soft icy mix.
03 -
Pour your syrup through a strainer to get rid of the mint bits. Toss the mint and let the syrup cool off completely.
04 -
Mix sugar, water, and mint leaves together in a small pan on medium heat. Stir around until the sugar melts and everything turns light green, usually 2–4 minutes.
05 -
Spread those cantaloupe cubes on a wax paper baking sheet. Pop the tray in the freezer and wait an hour or two until they're frozen solid.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Just leave out the vodka and use bubbly water instead for a booze-free version.
