Review:
Sweet iced lurid green melon.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created for the 1987 US launch of Midori green melon liqueur.
Reporting on the launch of Midori, on the 24 September 1978 The Indianapolis Star newspaper reported, "Midori will debut in the form of a Melancholy Baby, which is made by pouring Midori on crushed ice and served with a splash of lime juice. The cocktail failed to take off, but Midori liqueur proved a hit through the rest of the 1980s and into the 1990s.
