Midori liqueur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Midori is a bright, green-coloured, musk melon-flavored cordial made by Suntory. It is manufactured in Mexico, though it was originally made in Japan until 1987. It began life in 1978 with a launch party held in New York's infamous Studio 54[1].
Midori is usually 20-21% alcohol by volume. The name comes from midori, the Japanese word for "green".
As it is extremely sweet, Midori is rarely consumed by itself. It is generally used in a mixed drink or cocktail; for example, a Midori Illusion or a Japanese slipper. Midori is usually mixed with lemonade, fresh lemon juice, lime juice, pineapple juice or orange juice. Sour flavours are often used to balance its sweetness.
