Finally found a cocktail recipe which uses Midori without being too sweet! Replaced the 1/2 Oz vodka with additional gin as I have no use for vodka apart from a Bloody Mary.

This is the exact same recipe as your Grateful Dead (https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/906/grateful-dead), where it says it's a LA Iced Tea with Midori instead of berry liqueur, so I think this one is wrong. Also, it's LA, not L.A., unless you're thinking of a Beach Boys album.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The LA Iced Tea is with Midori while the Grateful Dead should be with berry liqueur.
