You are only limited by the selection of the melons available, to choose the perfect melon ~ CANTALOUPE * WATERMELON * HONEYDEW * CASABA *

I always seem to find the best melon from the ones that are available! Just gently push in the vine end (indented a little, usually) with your finger and SMELL IT! If it smells like fresh, ripe melon... then that's the one to pick! Usually, you'll be going through a bunch of melons first though (and most will just smell "cold" or have no smell at all). If the vine end is too hard to push in a little, then it probably isn't ripe ~ so try another one.
When you get it home and cut it, if it still isn't as sweet as you'd like (sometimes the whole batch of them aren't really ripe), then you can help it along a little: You can toss the cubes/balls with a little honey ....
CANTALOUPE is good tossed with a little orange juice or TRIPLE SEC....
HONEYDEW is good tossed with a little lime juice or a tiny amount of CREME de MENTHE
WATERMELON is good tossed with a little citrus juice or VODKA
CASABA is good tossed with a bit of citrus juice or TEQUILA
