For most peopleʼs taste, Midori is too sweet to drink straight from the bottle. It is best when slightly diluted and ice-cold; a few ice cubes makes a pleasantly sweet sipper. Better yet, add soda (nothing too sweet) and serve it over ice as tall or short as you like.

Midori may have never disappeared fully from the market, but due to its intense color and saccharine profile, it fell out of favor among consumers when more serious cocktail programs developed in the late ʼ80s and ʼ90s.

What to Mix With Midori Lemon lime soda. Sour mix. Club soda. Flavored club soda such as vanilla, cherry, orange, citrus, and strawberry. Orange juice. Grapefruit juice. Ginger ale. Ginger beer.

It was first released in 1964 under the name Hermes Melon Liqueur, but changed its name to Midori in 1978. It was made exclusively in Japan until 1987. Midori is typically 2021% alcohol by volume.

The Runestone drink is made from vodka, Midori Melon Liqueur, lemon juice and cola, and served in a highball glass.

You want whiskeys or rums that you can still taste in the Coke. If you pour vodka, you wonʼt taste the vodka. If you pour some whiskey blends, such as Seagramʼs 7 Crown, youʼre likely not tasting the whiskey because thereʼs so much neutral grain spirit in the whiskeyʼs creation.

Stored at room temperature, Midori will last at least two years after being opened. If you have space, weʼd recommend storing Midori in the fridge for a cool cocktail, but we also understand that it may not be worth it if you only use this liqueur once or twice a year.
