MIDORI (or Melon Ball) Shooter

The 4th of July is in just a few days and I thought it would be timely to put out a recipe for my MIDORI Shooter!

I love the bright green hue of Midori. It’s made from Muskmelon in Suntori, Japan. It has the taste similar to honeydew melon and is a very refreshing cocktail for the summertime. Here is a great recipe for what some also call a “Honeydew Melon Ball Shooter”.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

Midori Melon Liqueur
Pineapple Juice
Amaretto
Jägermeister
Honeydew Mellon

Instructions:

1. Pour equal parts Midori and pineapple juice into a cocktail shaker.
2. Shake and strain into a chilled martini/cocktail glass.
3. Add a small amount of amaretto by pouring close to the inner edge of the glass; allow to “sink” to the bottom.
4. Float Jagermeister on top; if needed, hold spoon to edge of glass while pouring into the spoon.
5. Top with a melon ball.
