• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 cup rum

2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour.
3. After an hour, strain the cantaloupe mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
4. In a pitcher, combine the cantaloupe liquid, lime juice, and rum. Stir well to mix everything together.
5. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the cantaloupe daiquiri shrub mixture over the ice.
6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
