Beetlejuice Midori Sour Ingredients

Vodka or Gin

I’m normally more of a gin girl, but vodka’s neutral flavor lends itself really well to the Midori and citrus juices. But a London Dry Gin works, too, it will just be a bit more juniper-y. Check out my Gin Guide and Vodka Guide for more info, including the bottles I recommend!

Midori

Midori means “green” in Japanese, which is where this bright green melon liqueur originates. It’s sweet and tropical with about 20% ABV. It’s famously used in a Midori Sour, like this one.

Lemon and Lime Juice

If it’s not fresh, we don’t want it!

Tips for Making the Best Midori Sour

• DO NOT CONSUME DRY ICE. If using, wait until dry ice has completely evaporated and only use dry ice in a safe environment with gloves.
• Use fresh squeezed lemon and lime juice for the best flavor.
• You can also use Midori in other holiday cocktails like the Grinchmas Margarita.
