Cooks Notes - Last summer I got the most beautiful honeydew at the farmers market. I would cut it up and put in the blender with some coconut milk and freeze it into cubes for my grandson who was teething. I still had two batches in the freezer and was longing for that summer taste, so I came up with this. While we had it this morning at breakfast, I thought if I add some white rum it would make a lovely cocktail. So we of course had to try it, but waited until 12:01pm. Either way, it will transport you to the tropics.
