• Melons are praised for their cooling flavor and hydrating effects. They also have a high water content making them good in the hot summer months. They are often cut, cubed, or balled for fruit salads and desserts and eaten on their own. Melons are typically used in fruit platters or breakfast spreads, as their sweet fragrant flesh has a firmer texture than the summer cantaloupes. They can be paired with prosciutto or other cured meats for a savory contrast, showcasing their versatility in both sweet and savory dishes. Melons are also great in smoothies, juices and cocktails since they can add a natural sweetness as well as bring some lightness to the drink that helps balance out other beverages.

The drink includes Midori Melon Liqueur infused with Japanese melons, smooth vodka, and hints of bright lemon and lime.
• Nutritionally, melons are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, making them a valuable addition to a balanced diet.
