Ingredients
- ½honeydew melon
- 3cups store-bought lemonade
- 1½cups vodka
- ½cup raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord
- ¼cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
- Ice, as needed
Preparation
- Step 1
Use a melon baller or mini ice cream scoop to scoop the honeydew into balls. (These serve as your tennis ball garnish.) Freeze until ready to serve.
- Step 2
Combine the lemonade, vodka, raspberry liqueur and lemon juice in a pitcher or large measuring cup. Stir with a wooden spoon and refrigerate until very cold, about 30 minutes.
- Step 3
Fill highball or old-fashioned glasses with ice. Stir the batched cocktail once more and divide it among the glasses. Skewer 2 melon balls with a toothpick to garnish each drink.
- If you want more melon flavor, you can freeze the melon balls ahead of time and add them to the batched cocktail while it chills.

Measurements for one drink from the Grey Goose site: 1.25 oz vodka 3 oz lemonade ½ oz Chambord
Why would you use “store bought lemonade” when fresh lemon juice, sugar and water would suffice and be infinitely more delicious?
This recipe is the exact recipe. It’s fantastic.
I'd like to try substituting tequila for the vodka.
Also: don’t skimp on the melon balls! Use 3 to resemble how they come in a can!
At the US Open, they use three scoops of honeydew melon so they look like the three tennis balls that come in a typical tennis ball can! Using two misses the point!
