Midori is the Japanese green liqueur par excellence. This melon liqueur is one of the favorite components of bartenders all over the world to make their cocktails. Its extraordinary taste of the best Japanese melons will take your cocktail to another level. In Japan, it is extremely rare to find melons grown in only one region of the entire country. This fact makes them reach very high prices in the first harvests. In this case, since the Midori was introduced to society in 1971, American bartenders have been able to take advantage of its excellent touch to incorporate it into their recipe book. In 1978, Midori was the main ingredient in The Universe, the cocktail that won the annual United States Bartenders' Guild competition. Today, Midori continues to be a liqueur of excellent reputation and quality.
This surprising fruit liqueur is made from 2 varieties of melons grown in Japan according to a carefully guarded recipe. Its aromatic profile expresses the specificities of each of the varieties used, the first bringing a great freshness, and the second a sweet and gourmand side. The melons used to make Midori are harvested by hand before being taken to the distillery to extract the juice with all the aromas, sweetness and fruitiness they contain.
