Midori is a bright green-coloured
melon-flavoured
liqueur made by
Suntory[?] and manufactured in
Mexico. Midori is used as in ingredient in
cocktails, for example a 'Midori Illusion'. It is usually drunk mixed with
lemonade[?], fresh
lemon juice,
lime juice, or
pineapple juice. Midori is 21% alcohol by volume, but as it is a
mixer the actual amount used in a single drink is usually one 'shot' (30mls). If a higher
alcohol content is desired in the beverage,
vodka may also be used in the drink. Midori is extremely sweet, and the tangy fruit juice cuts the sugar level to a more palatable level.
Midori[?] is also a
ward of city[?] in Japan.
