I recently discovered a simple gin concoction that can be utilized with a variety of fruits for a nice, crisp drink. Use a not too dry gin as the foundation, such as Miller's or Hendrick's. Don't try this with Bombay. This recipe is also excellent if you substitute fresh peach for the cantaloupe. With peach, the pepper might be a bit overpowering...try it and see.
4 oz. Miller's Gin
1 oz. simple syrup (2 parts sugar, 1 part water)
1 lemon, juiced
2 1/2 oz. pureed cantaloupe
Shake over ice. Add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes in the glass.
