This is one of the most refreshing, tasty drinks I've ever had. It was hard for me to not drink the whole batch. It's not pretty, but it's full of so much fresh fruit and the rum is not overwhelming. You could certainly add more if you wanted a more pronounced rum flavor. I don't even like kiwis because I think they're pretty flavorless, but in this drink it all works!
Honeydew-Kiwi Daiquiris
A pitcher of slushy daiquiris is a great way to start the weekend. You'll use about half of the melon for this recipe and the rest in Sunday's fruit salad. If you don't think your rental place will have a blender, whir these up before you leave town, and freeze overnight in a zip-top plastic freezer bag. Thaw for a few minutes before serving (knead the bag to break up big pieces). If you brought extra orange liqueur, add a splash to the mix for more flavor.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 1 1/4 cups)
