One of the first cocktail I ever had over twenty years ago was the Midori Sour. It’s an often teased drink, but for this St Patrick’s Day, let’s give it a shot.
Here’s the key to a good Midori Sour, do not, I repeat, DO NOT use “sweet and sour mix”. One shot of midori and two shot of that does not a good cocktail make! You have to juice a lemon and a lime to get a good drink here, so do the work!
The vodka shot is extra, if you want a little extra kick in your melon flavored drink. I don’t make them often anymore, but the taste brings me back, and perhaps it might be the same way for you. Cheers!
1½ oz Midori Melon Liqueur
1 oz Vodka
½ oz Fresh Lemon Juice
½ oz Fresh Lime Juice
3 oz Club Soda (or lemon lime soda if you want it sweeter)
Here’s a link for a hand juicer, if you don’t have one.
Add all ingredients (but soda) to a highball or collins glass filled with ice (build in glass!!)
Stir for 20 seconds to combine the elements
Top off with Club Soda and stir again to mix
