Midori Sunrise is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that combines the sweet and fruity flavors of Midori liqueur with orange juice and grenadine. This vibrant green drink is perfect for summer parties or relaxing by the pool.
Originating in Japan, Midori liqueur was first introduced in 1978 and quickly became popular for its unique melon flavor. The word "midori" actually means green in Japanese, which perfectly describes the bright color of this liqueur. When mixed with orange juice and grenadine, it creates a stunning layered effect reminiscent of a beautiful sunrise.
To make a Midori Sunrise, start by filling a glass with ice cubes. Pour 1 part Midori liqueur over the ice, followed by 2 parts orange juice. Slowly pour a splash of grenadine down the side of the glass so that it settles at the bottom, creating a gradient effect from green to red.
Garnish your Midori Sunrise with an orange slice or cherry for an extra pop of color and flavor. This cocktail is not only visually appealing but also incredibly tasty, with the sweetness of the melon liqueur balancing out the tartness of the orange juice.
Whether you're hosting a summer BBQ or simply looking to relax after work, try making a Midori Sunrise to add some tropical flair to your day. Cheers!
