Buttercup-Inspired Drink

featured in Powerpuff Girls-Inspired Drinks

For this spicy and sweet Powerpuff Girls-inspired cocktail, we blended up a fresh juice with honeydew melon, mint, and jalapeño that’s shaken with lime juice, tequila, melon-flavored liqueur, and some simple syrup. It’s sweet with a little kick of heat, just like Buttercup! This content is intended solely for users of legal drinking age. Drink responsibly.

Preparation

  1. Add the sugar, black food coloring, and water to a shallow bowl and stir until well combined. Wet the rim of 2 glasses with the lime wedge, then dip in the black sugar mixture.
  2. Add the honeydew, mint, and jalapeño to a high-powered blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds, until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a cocktail shaker.
  3. Add the lime juice, tequila, melon-flavored liqueur, and simple syrup to the cocktail shaker and fill the rest of the way with ice. Shake well to combine, about 30 seconds.
