Ingredients
  

Base Spirits

  • 2 oz Midori melon liqueur
  • 1 oz vodka optional

Fresh Components

  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 2 oz club soda or lemon-lime soda
  • Fresh ice cubes

Sweeteners & Garnishes

  • ½ oz simple syrup adjustable to taste
  • Maraschino cherry
  • Orange slice
  • Additional seasonal fruits for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • First, grab a glass and pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to get nice and cold. While you wait, gather all your ingredients and tools.
  • Take your cocktail shaker and fill it halfway with fresh ice cubes. Pour in 2 ounces of Midori, 1 ounce of vodka (skip this if you want it lighter), 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice, and half an ounce of simple syrup.
  • Put the lid on your shaker and shake it well for about 15 seconds - you'll know it's ready when the outside of the shaker feels frosty cold.
  • Take your chilled glass out of the freezer and put some fresh ice in it. Strain your shaken mixture over the ice.
  • Now comes the fizzy part! Slowly pour in 2 ounces of club soda or lemon-lime soda. Give it a gentle stir - just enough to mix everything together.
  • For the final touch, stick a cherry and an orange slice on a cocktail pick and place it on top of your drink. That's it - your Midori Sour is ready to enjoy!
