  2. I have found a new *favorite* Never put honeydew and cucumber together, but this was Terrific. Love the sweetness combined with the tart lemon juice. Great combination. I will definitely be making these again! Thanks for sharing another *Keeper* (Made for Bevy Tag 9/08) Cheers ~V
     
  3. This is a really lovely drink January Bride. This pretty pale green beauty is very tasty, not overly sweet and very refreshing. I really loved that you could taste both the cucumber and the melon with a hint of citrus in this unique cooler. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
