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!
1.5oz Midori Melon Liqueur
1oz Vodka
0.5oz Fresh Lemon Juice
0.5oz Fresh Lime Juice
3oz 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
