Midori Sour

A bright green, low-proof sour built on Midori, Suntory's sweet Japanese melon liqueur. Vodka stretches it out while lemon and lime cut the candy sweetness, and a splash of soda lifts it into something easy and refreshing. Born of melon liqueur's late-1970s arrival in the US and the disco-era nightclub scene that embraced it, the drink has stayed a vivid, crowd-pleasing fixture ever since.
