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 Hiveβ’ Honey. Recipe and ideas are my own.
Whoβs 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 originalβ¦ Cue the Honeydew Margarita! A blend of ripe melon, fresh lime juice, honey, and you canβt forget the tequila! This libation hits all the right flavor notes – itβs citrusy, tart, and refreshing. Plus I used Local Hiveβ’ Honey for the perfect amount of sweetness.
I was so excited to collaborate with Local Hiveβ’ Honey for this delicious sipper because this honey is a favorite in our household. Itβs 100% raw and unfiltered, so youβre getting the purest product with the freshest taste. And if youβre into learning about how things are made like I am, then check out these stories of the American beekeepers that Local Hiveβ’ Honey works with.
So, get your shaker ready and mix together your fresh honeydew and Local Hiveβ’ Honey Orange Blossom Honey puree, your preferred tequila (I like using Blanco tequila), and fresh lime juice! And itβs optional but highly recommended to include a chili-lime salt rim with a beautiful edible flower garnish. You can shop all of Local Hiveβ’ Honeyβs products here and have your favorite products delivered straight to your door!
P.S. This recipe makes 2 servings so donβt forget to enjoy it responsibly with a friend (preferably outside in the sun or poolside!)
