Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon verbena leaves
  • 1/4 small ripe cantaloupe
  • Prosecco or other sparkling wine (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the sugar, lemon verbena, and 1 1/2 cups of water. Simmer the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and then reduce the heat to low, allowing it to gently simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Let the syrup cool, then strain it into a pitcher, discarding the solids.
  3. Halve the cantaloupe, remove the seeds, and scoop the flesh into a blender. Purée the cantaloupe until smooth.
  4. Stir the cantaloupe purée into the syrup and chill the mixture until cold, allowing any foam to settle for 1-2 hours.
  5. To serve, fill a glass a third of the way with the melon mixture, then gently top it off with Prosecco.
