How to make: Midori's Smashing Melons

Using: Midori, Melon Liqueur

Ingredients: 

• 50ml MidorI
• 20ml lemon juice
• 8 - 12 mint leaves
• 30ml apple juice

This refreshing creation combines the fruity melon flavour of Midori, with crisp apple juice, zesty lemon and fresh mint leaves.  It’s easy to make, served in a simple tumbler (although I went for an old school martini glass) and garnished with a crunchy slice of apple. 

Method:

Shake Midori, apple juice, lemon juice and mint in a cocktail shaker. Pour over ice, garnish with an apple slice and enjoy!

This is a modern twist to the traditional whiskey sour, using Auchentoshan 12 Years Old Whiskey, making the iteration lighter and slightly sweeter.

This can be served in a small tumbler.

Method:

Step 1: Shake the ingredients with ice, and strain
