Named after Maia—the nurturing Roman earth goddess who oversaw plants and blooms—the month of May always brims with excitement and potential. Whether it’s May Day, Mother’s Day, or the countless other celebratory occasions, raise your glass with a drink spotlighting the juicy, aromatic melon, which comes into season this month. Fragrant and sweet, this luscious fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and beta-carotene, especially cantaloupe. Enjoy it at its peak in this lovely elixir.
