Watermelon Hot Honey Gin Cooler

Ingredients

• It’s hot out there! Whether you’re awaiting the RAGBRAI stampede or just hanging out, sip on this refreshing summer cocktail with a mildly spicy kick. This recipe makes a single drink but can easily be doubled or quadrupled to enjoy with friends.
• Ingredients:
• Chile lime seasoning like Tajin, for the rim of the glass
• 1 cup watermelon or muskmelon, cubed and seeded
• 2 tablespoons Holton Homestead Hot Honey, plus extra for the rim
• 2 ounces gin
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice (from 1 small lime)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• Fresh basil or lime for garnish
• Instructions:
• Place a large drop of hot honey on a small plate. Sprinkle the chile lime seasoning on another small plate. Dip a tumbler or stemless wine glass into the honey and turn it to coat the rim; then do the same with the seasoning.
• Place the next five ingredients in a blender and mix on high until they’re well blended and the ice is crushed. Pour into the prepared glass and garnish with fresh basil or lime. Serve immediately — or simply remix for a few seconds if it starts to separate. (Bonus tip: Scoop up the leftover honey from the plate with potato chips.)
