Watta Melon!

A day like today is a great day for melon...drinks! There is a green colored liqueur made of melon called Midori. Here are a couple of great Midori drinks--long drinks, for sipping on an early Sunday afternoon.

This first is a blender drink. Great with friends, with a boyfriend, girlfriend, or lover--when you have the use of your parents' condo for the weekend or the family place down the shore--this is the one you want.

It's called a Midori Sour.

2 oz Midori® melon liqueur
6 - 8 oz sweet and sour mix
1/2 tsp sugar
ice

Mix all ingredients in a blender with enough ice to freeze. Serve in a tall glass with a lime twist garnish.

This next is great as a morning drink when you have to mow the lawn. The energy drink pumps you up, the ginger ale gives it a tart, tight taste, and the Midori takes the edge off.

It's called a Midori Rush.

2 oz Midori® melon liqueur
2 oz Adrenaline Rush energy soda
2 oz ginger ale

Mix all ingredients in glass with ice. Garnish as desired with orange slice or cherry.

All right? Hope you enjoy these and as always, 'til next time, SEE YA!
