FeedThe Midori Float
Stay afloat this summer with an icy cold Midori Float created by Texas mixologist Michael Malone. This frothy cocktail muddles the flavors of lemon sorbet, yubari melon, pineapple, cranberry and rum to create the ultimate poolside cocktails.
The burst of melon flavor and vibrant green color in the cocktail comes from Midori, which means “green” in Japanese. The melon flavor in Midori is derived from the Yubari Melon, a rare and expensive melon that comes from the Yubari region of Japan.
