Melon Melody - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups pineapple juice
2 cups vodka
3/4 cup Midori melon liqueur (melon liqueur)
1/2 cup cream of coconut
1/2 cup lime juice (use fresh!)
1/2 small cantaloupe, chilled
1/4 small honeydew melon, chilled
1 slice inch-thick small seedless watermelon, chilled
4 cups crushed ice

Preparation

Mix all of the liquid ingredients in the punch bowl.
Cut the melons into 1/2-inch balls using the smaller end of a melon baller.
Thread the melon balls in combinations onto 8 large cocktail picks or small skewers.
If you have more melon than you need, cut additional balls and float them in the punch for added color.
Add the crushed ice to the punch.
Garnish individual glasses with the melon ball swizzles and serve immediately.
***Note: Cream of coconut, not to be confused with the unsweetened coconut milk and cream used for cooking, is a thick, sweetened coconut product found in liquor stores and well-stocked supermarkets.
