Getting bored with the same old melon ball? Try building this easy highball. To start fill your high ball glass with ice. Now as with most built drinks you want to start with the liquor so throw in 3/4oz of vodka and top it with 1/4oz of melon liqueur. Fill the rest with aproximately 2oz cranberry juice and 1.5oz sweet & sour mix; make sure that you leave enough room for a drizzle of blue curacao to float on top as an option.

Sweet & Sour mix can be made with equal parts of freshly squeezed lemon juice and a basic simple syrup. Boil the sugar and water together until sugar is completely dissolved then let cool, stir consistantly. Add the lemon juice to the simple syrup after and stir.
