description Midori Melon Liqueur Overview

Midori is a bright green Japanese melon liqueur produced by Suntory. It was introduced at Studio 54 in New York in 1978, and its name comes from the Japanese word for green. The liqueur is sweet and flavored with muskmelon, including honeydew-like melon notes, which makes it especially associated with cocktails rather than with neat spirit service. Its vivid color and concentrated melon flavor distinguish it from clear fruit liqueurs and from unsweetened melon-based drinks.
