Thank you so much for the sweet shoutout, Jolene!! The Honey Deuce sounds so tasty, I’ll definitely be trying it if I can find Chambord around here. It’s too funny that lemon/lime and mint are the garnishes of choice in this post, because I’m planning a lemon + mint cocktail recipe for my next newsletter 🤣 great minds!
I have never frozen melon balls, what a brilliant idea! Your presentations are always so lovely. I love the little tea glasses, and I'm sure people love visiting you! I know I would! ❤️
Beautiful post! We had melon balls too growing up and my mother would pile them into a carved out watermelon fashioned like a basket. Brought me back! Thank you!
I distinctly remember learning to make melon balls at summer camp one year as a kid, which is funny to me looking back because there’s not much to it! But I guess it’s a low-risk kitchen task for kids and those little balls look so festive🍈
I also like potato chips with drinks, but do you know what they usually serve here in Madrid with cocktails? Gummies! They usually put them out at weddings once the dancing starts and you have to storm the candy stand fast or all the good ones will be gone 😂
Zowwie! (he said in an old-fashioned exclamation inspired by your clock). Like everyone else, we’re inspired by your frozen melon balls. We’ve just never managed to scoop them as perfectly as this. We both picture truckloads on the way to figuring it out. Beautiful photos!
What a delightful post from beginning to end, Jolene! I often put melon balls in fruit salad, but it never occurred to me to freeze them or put them in drinks. Inspired--and perfect for summer! The story of the atomic clock is fascinating too. Now I want one, of course!
Can I just say how wonderfully delicious your photos are?
You know, I can drool over an elaborate cake but what I actually enjoy making in the kitchen is exactly this kind of simple delicacies. Bravo ❤️🍈

I didn’t know frozen melon balls was a thing. What a fabulous idea to savor some summer sunshine in the winter. Thanks for sharing!
Deliciously beautiful ⚪️🟡🟠
You make melon balls look unbelievably elegant and delicious, Jolene!
What a refreshing post, I have always loved melon balls too 🥰 I’ve never frozen them before though, that may just change 😁

Oh, the opening line got me hooked!!!!!!
Makes me want a temperature rise up here... I so appreciate the connections you make in your posts! From melon balls to clock... yes!

I love the idea of freezing the melon balls and using them as ice cubes. And thank you for that terrific background story on the atom-centric clock!
Marvelous post! I feel cooler already! And love the Nelson clock .
