I couldn't find cantaloupe at my local grocery store. I used honeydew melon instead and it was still delicious.

The Tiki Cantaloupe Coconut Cocktail is a bit too strong for me. I would recommend using less rum.

This cocktail is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less simple syrup.

I added a splash of grenadine to my cocktail and it gave it a beautiful pink color.

I made this cocktail with frozen cantaloupe and it was just as good as using fresh cantaloupe.
