You got a juicer? Us neither. We got back from the French Laundry and were in the mood for some cocktails. So Katie and I got on it. These drinks are kind of labor intensive, but well worth the time. These are totally summer.

Ingredients:
1 large honeydew (a little unripe if you can find it), cut into 1 inch chunks
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp fresh rosemary
4 oz rum per glass

This requires some work, but rest assured that it will be well rewarded. These are directions for people without a juicer. Blend the honeydew with the rosemary and cayenne in a food processor of blender until smooth. Strain in a fine strainer, slowly, into another empty vessel. Mix with rum, and serve to friends!
