The melons are out of control at the Farmers Market right now. Today, in addition to the last of the blueberries and peaches, we had honeydews, cantaloupes, canary melons, some weird little "snack melons" that look like palm-sized watermelons but taste like honeydew, and a cantaloupe-looking heirloom from Finca Pura Vida that was described only as "Indian Melon from the Indians of Costa Rica."
Our post-market cocktails today consisted of:
Crushed Peach you-name-it:
We made a Tom Collins on top of a crushed peach, and a margarita, and some other things I've forgotten by now. Crushed peach on a classic cocktail = yummy while you're trying to figure out what else to make.
We also made a lovely pitcher drink of fresh pressed cantaloupe and canary melon juice, gin, maraschino, lemon juice and agave nectar. Serve long with a squeeze of lime and a spritz from the soda siphon. Mmm... Markety.
