This frosty drink is perfect for summer: slushy and sweet, with a little bite from a touch of lime. It’s a great drink to mix and match. You can use a different melon if you like — honeydew or cantaloupe would be delicious. The seltzer adds just a touch of effervescence, but you could swap unsweetened mint iced tea for even more minty flavor, if you like. Or, leave the mint out altogether. If you have leftover frozen melon cubes, toss them into a smoothie or sprinkle with sea salt or tajín seasoning and nibble on a warm day.
