How to Make Melon Balls With Rum And Lime
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the syrup slightly thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the zest of 1 lime. Let the syrup cool completely.
- Once cooled, stir in 2 tablespoons of dark rum and the juice of 1 lime. Adjust the amount of rum to your preference.
- Gently pour the rum and lime syrup over the prepared melon balls in a medium-sized bowl.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably 4-5 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the melon to chill thoroughly.
- Serve chilled. Garnish with extra lime zest or a sprig of mint, if desired.
