Ingredients

  • 1 (5 lb) ripe honeydew melon
  • 1/2 cup baking sugar (also called "superfine" or "ultrafine")
  • 5 limes, juiced
  • 1 cup raspberries (for garnish)

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Cut the melon in half, remove seeds with a spoon, then cut flesh from peel and cut into chunks. Place half of the melon in a large blender and process until liquefied. Pour the liquefied melon into a fine mesh sieve set over a large bowl.
Use a spatula to press the melon into the sieve, allowing the juice to squeeze through into the bowl. Occasionally scrape the flesh off of the sieve to allow more juice to transfer to the bowl. Repeat with remaining melon.
Transfer melon juice to a large pitcher and add four cups of water.
Combine lime juice and sugar in a small bowl, then stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour the lime-sugar mixture into the pitcher and stir well. Serve over ice, garnished with raspberries.
