Midori Melon Liqueur

The Liqueur That Launched a Thousand Cocktails

Midori — meaning "green" in Japanese — was introduced to the world at Studio 54 in New York City in 1978, and it immediately became one of the most recognizable liqueurs on the planet. Made by Suntory in Japan from two premium melon varieties — Yubari and Musk melons — it delivers a bright, sweet honeydew melon flavor and a vivid green color that has made it a staple of cocktail culture for nearly five decades. Fun, vibrant, and unmistakably itself.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Sweet and fruity. Fresh honeydew melon with a clean, candy-like sweetness and a bright, inviting character.
• Palate: Sweet and refreshing. Ripe melon flavor leads with a smooth, luscious texture and a clean sweetness that pairs beautifully with citrus and cream.
• Finish: Clean and sweet. Melon sweetness fades with a light, refreshing close.
