Cantaloupe Sorbet

• 1 cup water, or as desired
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cantaloupe - peeled, seeded, and diced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, or to taste
• 3/4 cup champagne
• 10 leaves mint, for garnish (optional)

1. Cook and stir water, sugar, honey, and lemon juice together in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is clear, about 10 minutes.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low, add cantaloupe and chopped mint, and cook until liquid reduces by half, 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Transfer cantaloupe mixture to a wide, shallow dish and refrigerate to cool completely.
4. Blend the cantaloupe mixture until smooth. Stir champagne into the pureed mixture until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve onto a rimmed baking sheet.
5. Freeze strained mixture until completely firm. Scrape frozen puree from sheet and blend in a blender until smooth. Pour onto the sheet and freeze again until firm. Repeat process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, like a sorbet. Garnish with mint leaves.
