Cantaloupe Gin Spritzer
This drink has a very light yet refreshing flavor. The ripeness of the cantaloupe will make or break this drink. I happened to have a ripe, juicy cantaloupe that I was cutting up for my family. I saved a wedge of it (roughly 6-8 pieces) and made a drink out of it before heading out back to the pool. It was just perfect for lounging on a floaty!
