Escape the Heat with Cantaloupe Margaritas

Were gearing up for a wretched heatwave in Los Angeles and Im preparing to do some serious outdoor eating and drinking. Im currently in the midst of planning a big lobster/crab/shrimp boil. Have you guys ever thrown one before? If you have any tips, please share!

Im thinking of a cocktail to serve when people arrive and even though margaritas arent exactly on theme with the shrimp boil, Im thinking of serving these anyway. Theyre SO good and refreshing.

I added a tablespoon of sugar to these because my melon wasnt super sweet. I imagine as summer takes off, melons will become sweeter and sweeter but mine needed a bit of help. The lime and tequila work wonders with the sweet melon and the salt around the glasses is SO good.

I hope you have a chance to taste this refreshing drink because its such a treat for hot summery days.
