Midori is a sweet, bright green-colored liqueur made by Suntory, flavored with Yubari King and muskmelon, instantly recognizable by its distinctive neon-green hue and instantly elegant textured bottle. Released in 1978, Midori was the main ingredient in "The Universe" cocktail, which won first prize in the U.S. Bartenders' Guild Annual Competition, and has since gained an outstanding reputation among leading bartenders for its excellent quality and superb versatility. Made from premium Japanese melon using natural flavors, Midori is designed to be highly compatible with a wide range of white and dark spirits alike. At 40 proof (20% ABV), this sweet liqueur delivers a pleasingly fruity character that works beautifully in a range of applications.

The fragrance is enticing, scented with honeydew, white flowers and fresh green apple, while the flavor is sweet, big and melony, with a clean, lightly floral finish. Light and fresh with a great honeydew melon flavor, it's perfect on its own or in any number of fruit-flavored cocktails, and serves beautifully as a refreshing after-dinner treat served over ice. The liqueur's light body, perky character, and bright aromatics make it ideally suited for mixing with citrus spirits, tropical juices, and other fruit ingredients—whether you're crafting classic cocktails like the Japanese Slipper or creating modern fruit-forward drinks.

Perfect for bartenders seeking versatility and consumers embracing tropical, fruity flavors, Midori remains an essential ingredient in any serious home bar. Whether enjoyed as part of a sophisticated cocktail, mixed into creative fruit punches, or simply appreciated for its timeless quality and vibrant character, Midori delivers the sweet melon taste that has made it an icon of spirited enjoyment for nearly five decades.
