Chill out this summer with a light and cooling honeydew juice. This recipe is a handy solution for any melon that is not perfectly ripe, including those with a mealy texture that can be unappetizing. The addition of honey really enhances the natural “honeydew” flavour and hides any imperfections in the fruit. Chill the glasses before serving your honeydew juice for a frosty effect.
With only two people in our household, it can sometimes feel like work to finish an entire melon. Stop sneaking it into every meal over the week and instead throw it in a blender to make this tasty beverage.

The beauty of this recipe is that it will work for most juicy fruits. Instead of honeydew melon try a cantaloupe, watermelon, or even a bunch of mangoes. This is an especially useful trick for overripe fruits that your family doesn’t want to touch anymore. Just be aware of the sweetness levels and adjust the amount of honey used to the natural sugars in the fruit. For a spiked version, we added a shot of black cherry vodka, which was delicious! I imagine most fruit-flavoured liquors will complement this juice. Cheers!
I have never thought to do honeymelon juice. Great idea. #PartyAtMyPlace
I am tasting this as we speak – in my imagination. Sounds refreshing and perfect for this holiday weekend. Sharing as my Party at My Place pick of the day on Facebook.

Looks absolutely beautiful (without the artificial colors!). I love the suggestion to use imperfect melons.

We had our waiter in Cancun on our honeymoon make mimosas using this melon! Delicious and best ever!!

I recall having a honey few juice mixed in a blender served and sold by a vendor that sold this sort of a slushy at the Canadian expo near Toronto, I think, when I was a child, about 60 years ago. It was fantastic. I never saw or found it since. I shall be ready to go to our local produce auction and experiment this coming summer!!
