What kind of alcohol is Midori?

Midori is a melon-flavoured liqueur from Japan. Originally called Hermes Melon Liqueur, it has a distinctive bright green colour and is made with the juice of Japanese muskmelons, which are extremely rare and can cost up to $20,000.

What does Midori taste like?

Midori is a sweet liqueur that tastes like honeydew or cantaloupe melons. And, with just 20% ABV, Midori isn’t as strong as spirits like gin, whisky or vodka.

Which gin should I use for this gin and Midori cocktail recipe?

We recommend using Junimperium Special Edition Tallinn Dry Gin, Craft Gin Club’s October 2022 Gin of the Month, in this cocktail recipe.

Made with four different varieties of juniper from across Europe, this London dry has a wonderfully complex, juniper-forward profile, complemented by hints of citrus and pepper, that makes it the perfect ingredient to balance out the fruity, sweet Midori.

Together, with the added touch of lime for vibrancy and the effervescent tonic water, this mix gives you a cocktail experience that is truly remarkable and completely delicious.
