Honeydew Julep

Add the syrup and mint leaves to a julep cup and gently muddle. Fill the cup with crushed ice and pour the sake over. Stir, then top with more crushed ice. Garnish with mint, melon, and an edible flavor.

Combine approximately 2 parts ripe honeydew melon (cut into small chunks), with 1 part sugar. Toss to coat the melon, then cover & let sit until all of the sugar has dissolved. Strain out the melon chunks and store any leftover syrup in the fridge.
