Cocktail Hour: Cucumber Cantaloupe Sour

by Jonathan M. Forester, Posted Oct 2nd 2008 @ 4:00PM

After a week spent wandering the halls of Tales of the Cocktail in July 2008, sipping many finely stirred and shaken libations; I said to myself, "These special cocktails need to be shared with the world." So I bring you Cocktail Hour, a finer way to celebrate the end of the day; with these recipes. They have either been created specifically for Tales of the Cocktail, or re-designed for a new approach on the traditional version by some of the top Mixologists in the world. Many are being presented to the public here for the first time. Enjoy!

Cucumber Cantaloupe Sour cocktail recipe after the jump

Cucumber Cantaloupe Sour

1-1/2 oz Martin Miller's Reformed Dry Gin
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
2 oz fresh extracted cantaloupe juice
1/2 oz fresh extracted cucumber juice
1/2oz house made clover honey syrup

Shake over ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Note: to make clover honey syrup, which pours and measures better than straight honey- take four oz of clover blossom honey and add 2 oz of hot water. Stir to mix and put into a jar or squeeze container to use.
