Slightly confusing as there's 1/6 melon in the ingredients but 1/8 in the method. I don't suppose it matters too much though and this is a good recipe if you have some melon to use up - light and refreshing a good summer cocktail.

Thanks for bringing to my attention, Sally. I've fixed the recipe and method.
