Tips and Notes

Cantaloupe: Use ripe, sweet cantaloupe for the best flavor. Puree it until smooth and strain if necessary to remove any pulp.
Mint: Fresh mint is key to achieving the refreshing herbal flavor. Muddle the mint gently to release its oils without overpowering the drink.
Sweetener: Adjust the sweetness of the martini by adding more or less simple syrup based on your preference.
Vodka: Use a high-quality vodka to enhance the martini’s smoothness. You can also experiment with flavored vodkas for a unique twist.
Garnish: Garnish with a mint sprig or a cantaloupe slice to enhance both the appearance and aroma of the martini.
