- Chill the melon and coconut water first so the drink stays thick without excessive ice.
- A small pinch of salt balances the melon; this everyday drink is not a substitute for medical rehydration when you are ill.

Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Use ripe cantaloupe in place of honeydew.
- Plain cold water works instead of coconut water; add a little extra melon for flavor.
Best immediately. Refrigerate without ice for up to 24 hours and shake or reblend before serving.
