How to Make a Melon Ball Cocktail
For this recipe, you will need a melon baller (if you wish to make nice garnishes, that is) as well as the following ingredients:

You can get a melon baller here for the cost of a cup of coffee (nowadays anyway.. ): [amazon_link asins=’B0095PC5WM’ template=’ProductCarousel’ store=’magpie-inpost-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’e4c4acd5-295a-11e8-a46b-f71f247794c3′]
I love making my cocktails in vintage barware such as this amazing Ring Necked Pheasant glass mug of mine. I have several of these and if you’ve ever seen my Instagram account, you’ll know I have an obsession with bird glasses.
Anyway, I know you are itching to know how to make this so I’ll get to the recipe in a moment but I do want to point out that if you are looking for vodka cocktails, I have a great list of them right here that you should check out: 6 Excellent Vodka Cocktails You Need To Try.
