This ain’t your older sister’s early 2000’s Midori Sour…

Here’s my slightly elevated take on this 90-00’s cocktail. If you haven’t had Midori before, well this one is for you, Midori is a liqueur made from Japanese melons that is subtle, sweet and packed with fruity melon flavor. It also brings forth a crazy green color to most cocktails (including this one). In the past few decades, the ‘Midori Sour’ used to be made with… you guessed it… sour mix. This take combines the specs for a classic sour (with egg white foam) and adds elements of fresh lime juice and lemon zest to accentuate the citrus in this recipe.

Now where’s my sister @margaritacaffee? You gotta try this version :P

Cheers y’all.
