Your Favorite Melon and Mint Mojitos

Out at the cabin, my mom had Tupperware for everything, including cantaloupe. She would keep a giant container filled with chilly sliced cantaloupe, all ready to go.

One perfect melon supplies enough fragrance for a pitcher—not plastic, these days—of cooling drinks.
