Sparkling Melon Gazpacho

Sparkling Melon Gazpacho

Serves 12

Ingredients:

1 Melon Cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 Melon Honeydew Melon, peeled, seeded and chopped
¼ Cup Perrier or Other Sparkling Water
1 Tbsp. Fresh Mint, minced
¼ Cup Fresh Pineapple, minced (optional garnish)
¼ Cup Fresh Strawberries, minced (optional garnish)
¼ Cup Red Grapes, whole (optional garnish)
¼ Cup Fresh Blueberries (optional garnish)

Directions:

• Chop melons into large chunks. Place in blender with mint and sparkling water.
• Puree until smooth.
• Add minced and whole fruit.
• Chill and serve.

Tip: For a fancier presentation, puree each melon separately with half of the sparkling water and mint. Place in two separate containers.  After chilling, pour both colors into a frozen martini glass at the same time for two separate colors. Garnish with fresh mint and sorbet.
