Ingredients
  

  • 1 oz Midori Melon Liqueur: Provides the signature green hue and a “melon" flavor.
  • 1 oz Vodka or Gin: Adds a smooth kick; choose gin for botanical notes or vodka for a cleaner taste.
  • 1 oz Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed for optimal flavor.
  • 1 oz Simple Syrup: Balances the tartness with a touch of sweet; it is Halloween after all.
  • ½ oz Lemon Juice: Adds some sour citrus.
  • Soda Water: Top it off with soda water.
  • Ice: For serving.
  • Garnish: Lime slice, lemon twist, or Halloween-themed candies like gummy worms. Everyone loves gummy worms
  • Alternative: Swap Sprite for the lime juice lemon juice, and simple syrup if you're looking for a quicker mix.

  • Combine your Ingredients: Pour all the ingredients with the exception of the soda water into your glass. Give it a stir.
