Midori is owned and produced by Suntory throughout the world. It was exclusively produced in Japan from 1964 and known as Hermes Melon Liqueur. It wasn’t until later that it was renamed to Midori which translates to “green” in Japanese. It started to gain traction in international markets after it was launched in New York City in 1978. It became a popular ingredient on back bars throughout the world.
The recipe was apparently tweaked around 2013 - reducing the sugar content and having a fresher melon taste, more reminiscent of the premium grade of musk melons that are used to produce the vibrant green liqueur.

MIDORI SOUR
This 3-ingredient sour recipe is by far the best Midori Sour version I've tried to date. The Midori melon liqueur has enough sweetness to balance the acidic lime juice and the egg whites bring a nice texture to this melon flavoured cocktail.
INGREDIENTS
- 60mL Midori Melon Liqueur (2 oz)
- 30mL Fresh Lime Juice (1 oz)
- ¾ Egg White
MIDORI ILLUSION
The Midori Illusion has also been known as a popular shooter recipe but serve it tall over ice and you have a sweet, refreshing, citrus and pineapple cocktail.
INGREDIENTS
- 60mL Midori Melon Liqueur (2 oz)
- 15mL Vodka (½ oz)
- 15mL Triple Sec (½ oz)
- 30mL Fresh Lemon Juice (1 oz)
- 30mL Pineapple Juice (1 oz)
MIDORI SPLICE
The aptly named Midori Splice tastes remarkably similar to that of a Splice ice cream. Flavours of fresh melon and coconut make a deliciously sweet tropical cocktail.
INGREDIENTS
- 30mL Midori Melon Liqueur (1 oz)
- 30mL Malibu (1 oz)
- 90mL Pineapple Juice (3 oz)
- Cream
JAPANESE SLIPPER
The Japanese Slipper is a citrusy tart, melon cocktail that was first created in Melbourne (Australia) at Mietta's Restaurant in 1984.
INGREDIENTS
- 30mL Midori Melon Liqueur (1 oz)

- 30mL Fresh Lemon Juice (1 oz)
LA POMME
Discovered after filming and editing that apple cider in the US is actually just unfiltered apple juice! In the video I used alcoholic apple cider (in Australia, that's what apple cider is). It would be much better with cloudy apple juice rather than alcoholic cider!
INGREDIENTS
- 30mL Brandy (1 oz)
- 20mL Midori Melon Liqueur (⅔ oz)
- 10mL Fresh Lemon Juice ( 1/3 oz)
- Apple cider (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
