Sipping Saturday
I made a tasty fruit salad for my girls on Wednesday. I couldn’t help but save a few slices for a bright melon margarita. The color reminds me of summer weekends spent at the beach with family. With our feet in the hot sand we would snack on cold melon. Have a wonderful weekend! Sweet Life

Creative use of cantaloupe!

Cantaloupe is my favorite summer fruit…it’s super refreshing and ridiculously perfect for the warmer weather 🙂 I’ve never added it to margaritas before…so smart!

This looks so refreshing and delicious. I have never heard of cantaloupe margarita but after seeing this now I must have one
Nothing like an icy cold slice of cantaloupe on a hot day. In a margarita, it becomes downright wicked — in the best of ways. 😉
I could drink this right now. Will have to make do with my (rather nice) glass of red!
What a beautiful colour! I am sure this is so sweet and refreshing 😀
