Honeydew Margarita
This Honeydew Margarita is a bright and refreshing cocktail made with tequila, fresh honeydew lime and Local Hive Honey!
This Honeydew Margarita recipe post was made in partnership with Local Hive™ Honey. Recipe and ideas are my own.
Who’s ready for all the delicious spring and summer produce?! As someone who loves creating new recipes (especially cocktails), I get so excited when I start seeing produce like peaches, plums and melons in the grocery store. Can you relate?!
Recently, I picked up some fresh honeydew melons and I knew I had to make something super refreshing, exciting, and original… Cue the Honeydew Margarita! A blend of ripe melon, fresh lime juice, honey, and you can’t forget the tequila! This libation hits all the right flavor notes – it’s citrusy, tart, and refreshing. Plus I used Local Hive™ Honey for the perfect amount of sweetness.
I was so excited to collaborate with Local Hive™ Honey for this delicious sipper because this honey is a favorite in our household. It’s 100% raw and unfiltered, so you’re getting the purest product with the freshest taste. And if you’re into learning about how things are made like I am, then check out these stories of the American beekeepers that Local Hive™ Honey works with.
So, get your shaker ready and mix together your fresh honeydew and Local Hive™ Honey Orange Blossom Honey puree, your preferred tequila (I like using Blanco tequila), and fresh lime juice! And it’s optional but highly recommended to include a chili-lime salt rim with a beautiful edible flower garnish. You can shop all of Local Hive™ Honey’s products here and have your favorite products delivered straight to your door!
P.S. This recipe makes 2 servings so don’t forget to enjoy it responsibly with a friend (preferably outside in the sun or poolside!)
