MIDORI Melon Liqueur in a Nutshell

That vibrant green hue isn't just for show; Midori is the original melon liqueur, crafted from two distinct Japanese melons, yubari and musk, giving it a uniquely refreshing, not overly sweet, true fruit flavor that stands out in cocktails.

Anders' Take on MIDORI Melon Liqueur

"Midori has the ability to bring a unique, unmistakable sweet and fruity note to certain cocktails. It's all about how you use it."

Let's Answer Your Questions About MIDORI Melon Liqueur

Where is MIDORI Melon Liqueur from?

MIDORI, that unmistakable vibrant green melon liqueur, hails from Japan, first launched by Suntory in the United States in 1978 at the famed Studio 54. Its creation was inspired by a melon-flavored liqueur presented by Suntory’s Hermes brand in 1964, though MIDORI itself was developed specifically for the US market, capitalizing on the cocktail boom. It quickly became a popular cocktail ingredient, known for its sweet, fruity profile derived from Japanese muskmelons, and remains a globally recognized brand for adding a splash of color and melon flavor to drinks.

How should I use MIDORI Melon Liqueur?

Midori offers a distinct, sweet honeydew melon flavor, bringing a vibrant, fruity character and a brilliant green hue to cocktails. It truly shines in bright, tropical, or creamy drinks, adding a unique melon sweetness that complements citrus, pineapple, and dairy or coconut elements for a refreshing twist.

What does MIDORI Melon Liqueur taste like?

Midori Melon Liqueur greets you with an unmistakable burst of fresh, sweet cantaloupe and honeydew on the nose. The palate is a vibrant wave of juicy, ripe melon, transitioning smoothly into a pleasantly sweet, lingering finish that echoes those initial bright fruit notes.
