Cantaloupe Rose Sugar Martinis | Deco Tartelette

It's melon season! As usual, I came home with way too much fruit from the farmers' market over the weekend...how can two people devour 3 melons in one week? I have no idea. Anywho, I decided to juice a cantaloupe and incorporate it into a cocktail and let's just say this is in my top five cocktails of all time. It's soooooooo delicious and refreshing and really allows the melon to shine which is well-deserved...truly. I hope you enjoy! Cheers!Cantaloupe Rose Sugar MartinisMakes 4 cocktailsIngredients:Juice from 1 small, ripe organic cantaloupe8 ounces chilled vodka2 tablespoons rose sugar (recipe below)Handful of iceDirections:Juice the cantaloupe using a juicer or you can simply blend and strain through a fine mesh sieve.
