Weekend event - cocktail party

It looks pretty, and it's green. Do the cocktails using it taste good? I recall that Midori is really, really sweet ...

It is sweet.
I use it to garnish cocktails more than just drink it strait. A splash will do y'ah..

That would work! Or it might be attractive as a layer in one of those pousse-cafés, not that I've ever made one.

I bet it would be good with Vanilla Ice Cream as pictured.

[pronker]

I could see that, too. Yummm on a hot day like today.

Neat! I'd bet it's better than green beer on St Patrick's Day anyway.

[pronker]

Ooh, definitely better than green beer!!

I love melon! I'm not a drinker, but I'll take a fruity cocktail with melon liqueur in it. And the ice cream idea as pictured in that book sounds intriguing.

Honeydew is a particularly sweet melon, all right! Such good, natural sweetness ...

very sweet. too sweet for me nowadays, but on my 21st birthday i did have a shot called a neon frog that was AMAZING and used midori (or a melon liqueur) for the base.

It might be one of those things, like honey, that's good to have once annually, so you can say, "Oh yeah, that's what Midori tastes like!" And then you return to normalcy.

My favorite drink with this is a Midori Sour - one part Midori, one part sour mix, garnish with orange and a cherry. The yellow of the sour mix plus the greenness of the liqueur make it look almost radioactive. But yes, it's pretty sweet - I can only drink one.

Also fun fact - they got the name from the Japanese word for "green"

Ahah! Good to know the word -- Green, yellow, cherry red, and orange orange. It sure is colorful.

Yuuum. Midori...

[pronker]

Mmm, maybe the mood is right for one of these recipes ...

Ooh! We actually just got some and it is very sweet, but good. I will have to try some of these!

[pronker]

Good! It's fun to experiment drinking different things and actually cook with spirits, too.
