By Realtychick

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 4 cups cubed cantaloupe
• Zest and juice of 1 lime
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, plus 4 sprigs for garnish
• 4 oz tequila
• lime, thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, bring sugar and 1/2 cup water to a simmer over medium heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves, 30 seconds. Set simple syrup aside; let cool to room temperature. In a blender, process cantaloupe, zest, juice and mint leaves until smooth. Stir in syrup and tequila. Freeze, stirring occasionally, until a thick slush forms, at least 2 hours. Pour into 4 glasses; garnish with mint sprigs and lime slices.
