Cantaloupe Puree Preparation
Prepare the Cantaloupe
In a blender, combine the diced cantaloupe. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp for a smoother texture.
Cocktail Mixing
Mix the Cocktail
In a shaker, combine Mal Bien lemongrass mezcal, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
Add Cantaloupe Puree
Add 1 ounce of the prepared cantaloupe puree to the shaker. Gently stir to combine without shaking again.
Serving
Serve the Cocktail
