This is the second recipe with Melon I’ve seen today, must be something in the air…I find that the perfect melon for this is Canteloupe, just the right balance of sweet/mellow.Very refreshing, excellent recipe.

Jamie, I have a confession to make: I'm not usually a big melon fan either. Until I tasted this French Orange variety, the only type that I really found worth eating was the Charentais, which I have had only twice, both times being in Paris. <>Sigh<>. Otherwise, eh, not such a fan of melon. Now, as for lemon cucumbers, of which I <>am<> quite emphatically a fan, < HREF="http://www.foodsubs.com/Squcuke.html" REL="nofollow">here<> is some information. For one thing, they are quite pretty to look at, but more importantly, they are wonderfully crunchy and sweet. Very, very summery.Yup, Natalia, it tastes very much like cantaloupe. Imagine the flavor of the best cantaloupe you've ever tasted, and then imagine that flavor cranked up a couple of levels, so that it's sweeter, juicier, and more vibrant. <>That<> is a French Orange.Aw, thank you, Alice Q! This would be delicious with champagne, I'll bet. Good thinking.MonkeyLover, if you do give it a try with rum, please report back. Inquiring minds want to know...Dianka, every now and then, I too wish I were European, especially when I see or read or hear anything having to do with George Bush. [Shudder.] But as for American melons, I don't know - this one is awfully good... Oooh, Janice, melon gelato? That sounds <>wonderful<>. I might have to try that at home before the season is through.Thank you, Delaleuverses!Leslie, that <>is<> a toughie! Hmm. Can we call it a tie?

I can’t decide which sounds better: the sippable melon or the warm ratatouille and poached eggs!

My mom used to make a refreshing canteloupe drink when I was a kid; this sounds like such a fun adult version! I should have brought a French melon back with me from Paris; the melon gelato there was practically the thing itself. Amazing.

Oh, only the French melons taste good. American melons do not. All the best things are French, and European in general.I wish I were European!Dianka

Hmm it sounds delightful. The alcoholic in me is curious about adding a little rum instead of wine though.

I wonder how it would be with champagne – kind of like a bellini I imagine? What a great idea, and a great post too! I love it when new entries pop up on my feed reader!

I’m like you, the drink is secondary to the meal. I just about always have a glass of water. But this melon drink seems worth trying. I’ve never had orange melon, does it taste like cantaloupe?
