What Makes This Halloween Cocktail Green?
Japanese Midori gives this Halloween cocktail its ghoulish green. It’s a bright green liqueur with a sweet, melon flavor, primarily made from Japanese melons like Yubari. It was first introduced in 1964 and has since become popular in cocktails due to its vibrant color and distinctive taste. Its eye-catching color and refreshing flavor make it a fun addition to many beverage recipes, including this Halloween cocktail!
