How to Make Cantaloupe Daiquiris

  1. Combine 4 cups cubed cantaloupe, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil in a large bowl or food storage bag.
  2. Let the melon mixture macerate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the cantaloupe is very soft and juicy.
  3. While the melon macerates, chill your glasses in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Once the melon is ready, puree the mixture in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
  5. Add 1 cup white rum and 1 cup ice to the blender. Blend until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency.
  6. Pour into your chilled glasses and garnish with a sprig of mint or a small cantaloupe ball (optional).
