Pro Tips

Chill everything! A cold glass and ingredients make a smoother cocktail.
Shake it well! The better you mix, the more balanced the flavors will be.
Adjust the sweetness. If you like it less sweet, use soda water instead of lemon-lime soda.
Make a big batch. This is a great party drink—mix a pitcher and serve over ice!

Substitutions & Variations

🍏 No Midori? Use another melon liqueur or swap for apple schnapps for a different twist.
🍊 No triple sec? Try Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
🍋 Want it stronger? Skip the soda and serve it as a short drink over ice.

Leftovers & Storage
