Buttercup-Inspired Drink Recipe by Tasty image

For this spicy and sweet Powerpuff Girls-inspired cocktail, we blended up a fresh juice with honeydew melon, mint, and jalapeño that's shaken with lime juice, tequila, melon-flavored liqueur, and some simple syrup. It's sweet with a little kick of heat, just like Buttercup!

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon black gel food coloring
1 ½ teaspoons water
lime wedge
2 cups honeydew melon, chopped
6 fresh mint leaves
½ jalapeño, seeded
2 oz lime juice
2 oz tequila
1 oz Midori, melon-flavored liqueur
1 oz simple syrup
ice, for shaking
2 honeydew melon balls, for garnish
2 cocktail picks

Steps:

  • Add the sugar, black food coloring, and water to a shallow bowl and stir until well combined. Wet the rim of 2 glasses with the lime wedge, then dip in the black sugar mixture.
  • Add the honeydew, mint, and jalapeño to a high-powered blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds, until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a cocktail shaker.
  • Add the lime juice, tequila, melon-flavored liqueur, and simple syrup to the cocktail shaker and fill the rest of the way with ice. Shake well to combine, about 30 seconds.
  • Strain the cocktail evenly between the rimmed glasses. Thread the honeydew melon balls onto cocktail picks and garnish each drink.
  • Enjoy!
