Useful for making spectacular green cocktails, Midori is a versatile liqueur that pairs well with a variety of flavors.

Overflowing with honeyed, aromatic melon flavour to match its stunning verdant hue, this Gabriel Boudier expression is certain to liven up your favourite mixes. In the 2000s, the brand sought to appeal to bartenders' requests for a less sweet liqueur by reducing the sugar.

That launch was held at New York's famed Studio 54 nightclub with the party hosted by the cast of Saturday Night Fever, including John Travolta. Gently muddle 6 mint leaves in a tall glass, add 2 parts Midori Melon Liqueur, 2 parts Jim Beam Bourbon, ginger beer and 1 part fresh lemon juice then ice and stir well. I'm one of those people that "doesn't like alcohol" but I've actually been enjoying this on its own - it's nice and sweet and is pretty much just like drinking melon juice, great in cocktails too.

Some drink recipes—including the famous Japanese slipper and Midori sour—use it as the base liquor, mixing it with a sweetener and citrus juice. Melon flavoured liquor with a striking green colour, perfect for mixing cocktails which you want to stand out! Another high-quality melon, the juicy fruit is known for its sweetness and green flesh, which inspired Midori's color.
