Blend chunks of the sweet-and-clean-tasting fruit with a tarragon-infused syrup and fresh lemon juice and get ready to kick back and relax, ideally by the pool. Ingredients ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup lightly packed tarragon sprigs, plus more for serving 6 cups peeled, chopped honeydew melon ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice Floral gin, such as Hendrick's (optional) Directions In a small heatproof bowl, pour 1/2 cup boiling water over sugar and tarragon; stir until sugar has dissolved. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes. Strain syrup into a blender; discard tarragon. Add honeydew, lemon juice, and 1 3/4 cups cold water; blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve over ice, garnished with a tarragon sprig, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. If using gin, stir a shot (1-ounce) into each glass before serving. Rate it Print
