Tips

  • For a frosty shooter, freeze the melon cubes for 30 minutes before blending, reducing the need for ice.
  • Garnish each shooter with a small mint leaf or a tiny melon ball on a cocktail pick for an elegant presentation.
  • Adjust the agave nectar to your desired sweetness; honeydew melon sweetness can vary significantly.
