First make the spiced gomme: Add the water and caster sugar to a large saucepan, along with the cardamon pods, star anise, cloves, pink peppercorns and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil – stirring constantly. When it reaches boiling point remove from the heat and allow to cool. Keep refrigerated until needed.
Add the spiced gomme, Eisberg Alcohol-Free Sparkling White Wine, lemon juice and cantaloupe melon juice to a mixing glass and stir.
Strain the mixture into a daiquiri style glass or standard 6oz coupette glass.
Use a melon baller to create balls of cantaloupe melon and soak in spiced gomme.
Thread the soaked melon balls onto a skewer and sprinkle with chilli threads to garnish.
