I cut up a rather large canteloupe, so I used some of it to mix up a drink to go with my lunch. I pureed it in water, added lemon juice and then some ginger ale. It was yummy. But sitting on the deck for lunch was chilly. You can see it was a sunny day but the deck was in shadow. So I had my lunch and dashed back into the house. Today I will sit on the little stoop at the front of the house if we have sun then. It shouldn't be in shadow.
In the summer you will be happy to sit on the deck in the shadow- but for now, I'm with you- find the sun and sit in it! I'm not a melon fan but your recipe sounds great for those who are.
