Notes
- You can substitute kiwi slices, pineapple chunks, papaya slices, or mango cubes for some of the melon balls for a more tropical-like flavor.
- You can also add a little grated fresh ginger or ground ginger or a dash of coconut extract.
- Try serving this version in a hollowed-out pineapple half.
