When it comes to pairing a melon cocktail with food, there are choices. If you’re looking for something light and refreshing, pairing a melon cocktail with a fresh fruit salad or a vegetable platter would be a solid choice. The sweetness of the melon will complement the fruits and vegetables.
For something more substantial, you could pair your melon cocktail with a savory appetizer like a cheese or charcuterie board. The saltiness of the cheese and cured meats will contrast nicely with the sweetness of the cocktail, while the melon will provide a refreshing balance.
