Very refreshing in this summer heat. Made as posted but I only used 1 tablespoon sugar and it worked for me. The lime juice was the perfect finishing touch. Thanks for posting bernrome. Mmade for Choose Your Event Party. -
Delicious, so delicious bernrome. I loved this quick and easy to make drink. The cantaloupe and lime are wonderful together, they create a very special drink. The flavor and texture are awesome. I think that this is my favorite cantaloupe treat to date. Thanks so much for sharing. Kudos Kato

I want to thank everyone who has made a recipe I've posted. I know your time is valuable, and it's a leap of faith to try a recipe that has zero or very few reviews. I really do appreciate it.
I'm addicted to cookbooks. I love buying them, I love borrowing them from the library, I love receiving them as presents.
I love to cook (hate the messy dishes, however), but I don't cook very often. I'm mostly a weekend cook.
I'm a library assistant at an elementary school. I'm a big fan of children's literature.
I'm single and I don't have children, but I do have kitten babies that I adore like nothing else in this world.
