Homemade Midori (but much better!)

Serious Mealtimes / Marcia Simmons

The Midori sour is a drink that confuses me. You take a sweet syrupy liqueur and add sugar syrup and a little citrus. This sticky green cocktail (along with Kim Kardashian’s Midori billboards) has made it hard for me to truly appreciate how great melon liqueur is.

Melons have a more concentrated sweetness than other fruits and a distinct musky undertone that really goes well with alcohol. A good melon liqueur can transform a simple club soda into a sophisticated summer cooler or add an extra layer to a complex tiki drink.
