A fresh, fruity cocktail with melon liqueur. A little less mutant green than some that use melon liqueur.
1.0 oz Melon Liqueur
0.75 oz Coconut Rum
0.75 oz Banana Liqueur
1.0 oz Sweet and Sour Mix
1.0 oz Pineapple Juice
Add ingredients to a shaker filled with ice. Shake. Strain into a cocktail glass.
Midori? No Melone.
This is what you buy when you aren’t sure if you will like a $23 bottle of Midori, that very sweet, melon flavored liqueur that makes drinks turn nuclear waste green.
The Midori bottle is very decorative, but that doesn’t justify the price tag. Like so many liqueurs, there is usually a knock off. In this case, that knock off is Melone. Good luck finding ANY information about the brand online.
As soon as the bottle was opened, a sweet, melon candy aroma wafted out. A sip gives a very sweet taste indeed. The melon is an artificial honeydew like flavor. Having never tasted Midori, I can only tell you that the Midori Sour recipe yields a very tasty cocktail.
