LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

A pop-culture phenomenon in a bottle. While too sweet to be enjoyed neat, Midori is an incomparable tool for adding specific fruit weight and a shocking visual element to modern cocktails.

The Library Note

Launched by Suntory in 1978 at the legendary Studio 54, Midori (literally 'green' in Japanese) became an overnight sensation. Using melons grown in volcanic ash-rich soil in Japan, it captured the neon-soaked energy of the era and remains the definitive melon spirit for bartenders worldwide.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Intensely perfumed and candied. Smells of ripe cantaloupe and honeydew melon flesh.

THE PALATE

Syrupy and clean. Concentrated melon flavor that mimics high-end confectionary, with a smooth, velvety texture.

THE FINISH

Lengthy and sweet with a lingering, cooling melon aftertaste.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'Midori Sour': 1.5 oz Midori, 1.5 oz fresh lemon-lime juice, 0.5 oz soda water. The acidity of the citrus is essential to cut through the liqueur's dense sweetness. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
