BOOZY MELON THREE WAYS



Boozy Melon Three Ways image

For the ultimate easy, boozy summer dessert, pair different melons with different liquors and top with fresh herbs. We like watermelon with tequila and mint, honeydew with gin and tarragon, and cantaloupe with vodka and basil. Sprinkle each with lime juice and flaky sea salt. Make one or make all three!

TEQUILA-SOAKED WATERMELON WEDGES



Tequila-Soaked Watermelon Wedges image

This grown-up fruit dessert borrows flavors from margaritas. Tequila and Triple Sec infuse the watermelon slices, which also get a spray of lime juice and a sprinkling of coarse salt. The longer the watermelon soaks, the more flavorful it becomes -- one more reason to save any leftover slices.
