Not bad at all, my first experience and I’d say it was a bit like a salt free margarita - and no worse for that! Question now is, how many years will the Midori sit in my cupboard?
Like honest I expected something which is Long Island iced tea taste from this twist, and then I went to a renowned bar. Their bartender crafted me this thing and it turns out like a whole cup full of lemonade which is rather boring… I expected more from this recipe, but it turns out to be like a big cup of lemonade.
We thought the melon liqueur was fighting a lone uphill battle against the spirits and sours. So we added 15ml Aqua Bianca. Lifted it nicely for us. A very refreshing cocktail.
It's...fine. It tastes of nothing in particular, which makes it significantly more headache than you care for when you've got to grab 8 different bottles.
I have fuzzy memories of drinking too many of these on my 21st birthday in San Francisco O_o
I do think the ingredients used were not very high-quality :D I will revisit this with the recommended alcohols here and hopefully create a better memory of this cocktail! Now that we're adults...
The photograph dates back to 2001, before we used digital cameras so the colour could be an image processing rather than mixing issue. Worthy of an update!
