The Cantaloupe Martini

Thank you from Janel Kesten, graphic designer extraordinaire, for this one - a mighty tasty one indeed. (You can find her beautifying the Cape’s marketing collateral with simple yet contemporary designs at New England Reprographics in West Yarmouth, MA, when she isn’t out and about drinking martinis…)

Janel says, “This martini is great because it’s easy to make (measuring is optional) and smooth to drink. Bonus: it reminds me of summer all year round.”

Janel’s recipe is as follows:

2 oz. Orange Juice
Squeeze a lime
