Good and refreshing cocktail, but for my taste Tequila is too prominent, I prefer a Melon Daiquiri.

Really refreshing, which has been welcome during the heatwave we’ve just had! The melon blends well with the tequila, and the lime really adds a tart zing which helps in quenching your heat thirst. Very drinkable. Mine was a different colour though, as my melon flesh was orange.

Your color was different because the recipe calls for cantaloupe but the photo shows honeydew melon.

Both would taste great, I'm sure, but honeydew makes more sense paired with the green melon liqueur, in terms of color as well as flavor.
