The Real Midori Illusion

Ahh Midori, you bring back so many memories.  All of them from my uni days, that was a while ago now, and then of course you did make an appearance at a few 18th Birthday Parties in my final year of school, that funny shaped green bottle really takes me back.  The most popular was the classic Midori and Lemonade, but it was almost always premixed as the student budget didn't stretch to buying the actual Midori.  Hot summers, being stuck in rooms without air conditioning.... I might have some memories but there is no way I would go back. 
 
1 shot Bacardi Rum 
1 shot Cointreau
1 shot Midori
1 shot Vodka
1/2 shot Blue Curacao
Pineapple Juice
Lemonade   
In a highball glass mix over ice and top up with half pineapple juice and half lemonade.  

Hubby: Very nice, perfect for a hot day, is a strong alcohol taste, 4.5/5
Me: Whoa!  High on the alcohol, very fruity and refreshing, great tropical taste but definitely leave it at one, 4.5/5
Perfect for: Sitting by the pool late in the afternoon and sipping slowly while watching the sun go down.
Try it: On a hot day when you need something refreshing, just make sure you don't need the car afterwards.
