This frosty drink is as refreshing as frozen lemonade but has the added lushness of summer melon. Fresh thyme gives the fruit’s sweetness some grown-up dimension.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

　　6 cups diced honeydew, cantaloupe or watermelon

　　1/4 cup fresh lime juice, plus more to taste

　　1/2 cup sugar, plus more to taste

　　1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus sprigs for garnish

　　1/2 cup silver tequila or mezcal (optional)

　　

Step 1

Spread melon pieces on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze until just hard, about 1 hour.

　　

Step 2

Transfer melon pieces to a food processor and add lime juice, sugar, thyme, 1/2 cup water and tequila, if desired. Pulse until smooth and slushy, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add water if you prefer a thinner consistency. Add lime juice and sugar to taste.

　　

Step 3

Divide among serving glasses and garnish with thyme sprigs. Serve immediately with spoons, or let melt slightly to serve as a drink
