Launched in 1978, MIDORI® is the original melon liqueur that embodies the vibrant essence of premium Japanese muskmelons. Its name, meaning 'green' in Japanese, reflects the liqueur's distinctive bright green color and its roots in Japan's rich natural landscape. The liqueur has earned a stellar reputation among bartenders worldwide due to its exceptional quality and versatility in cocktails.
Crafted from rare muskmelons, which can fetch up to $20,000 per harvest, MIDORI® utilizes a unique production method that blends the essence of two different melons. This meticulous process results in a liqueur with a refreshing, sweet flavor that pairs well with various mixers, making it a favorite for cocktails like the Midori Margarita and Melonball. Its low ABV of 20% allows for easy sipping, whether enjoyed neat or in a cocktail.
