Anita

1 1/2 oz Vodka
2 oz Melon Puree (Cantalupe)
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
1/4 oz Melon liqueur
3 Melon Balls (Cantalupe)
2 Mint Leaves.

To make the puree, peel and chunk about half a cantaloupe melon and blend it in a food processor until smooth.  Half a melon should yield about 6-8 oz. or enough for 3-4 drinks.

Add the vodka, of the melon puree, the lemon juice, simple syrup, elderflower liqueur, melon liqueur and mint to a cocktail shaker.  Muddle the mint with a muddler or the back of wooden spoon.  Fill with ice and shake well.  Pour through the strainer into a chilled Martini Glass and garnish with a few melon balls, if desired.
