Midori Sour
Bright green, boldly sweet, and unapologetically fun, the Midori Sour is a neon relic of 1980s cocktail culture—and it’s having a well-earned comeback. Made with Midori (a Japanese melon liqueur), lemon or lime juice, and often a splash of soda or sour mix, this cocktail is fruity, fizzy, and wildly approachable. It’s not about complexity—it’s about good times, bold color, and sweet, melon-flavored nostalgia in a glass.
