I Spy Something Green
Summer, doncha just love it?!After spending a lovely day at the pool, with a delicious barbecue dinner (steak and Yaya's fabulosity of a potato salad)...it was time for dessert.
And by dessert I mean getting my drink on!
Melon liqueur to be exact, Midori.
So popping out the blender we decide on Midori Sours, um yum, yum.
Think green Jolly Rancher in a glass.
Ice, Midori, and Sweet and Sour, 'tis all.
Forgive the stanky pics, the lighting in the kitchen is horrid.
Give it a little blend.
Well, a lot of blend unless you like huge ice chunks in your drink.
Sans ice, it's a simple 2 parts Midori, 1 part Sweet and Sour.
Oh the deliciousness.
Cheers!

Yummo! Wait, really? It tastes like a jolly rancher in a glass? Okay, next time we're on a GNO, I'm trying the Midori Sour!
See you tonight!

I have not had midori in years... YUM. It looks so pretty! I'm going out to a meeting, and I might crack my bottle of wine when I get home!

mmm that looks good! nice way to end a day.
I should teach you our famous gin buckets recipe--I bet you would like it, and it too is good for a hot day
July 27, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Oh, yum! It inspired me to whip up a batch of 'ritas!
Now...who took that picture?
July 27, 2009 at 7:20 PM
Oh my goodness! That looks SO good. I will have to try it.
July 27, 2009 at 9:33 PM
I need. You're cute

Yummy! Sign me UP!

What a COINCIDENCE: we both blogged green today! (Only yours definitely looks as if it tastes better. YUM!)
July 28, 2009 at 4:24 AM
wow these sound great; never tried one. If I drink at all it's got to be sweet and tasty, not really resembling alcohol, so this might fit the bill. Also, must it be accompanied by frito lay? :o)

Yummy! I have never made my own midori sours but now I may just have to try.
July 28, 2009 at 6:54 AM
The hubs and I enjoyed some nice cold beer last night. There is something about summer that makes a cold beer or mixed drink especially tasty.

The only time of the year I get to drink is on my wedding anniversary. I hope I can remember this for when Dec. 18 comes around.

It's not even 11 here yet but I will surely take a glass of that!
July 28, 2009 at 9:50 AM
Mmm yes please!! Looks scrumptious!! lol
July 29, 2009 at 12:41 PM
This is my fave drink! I will sometimes rotate these with Amaretto Sours. Also very yummy!
July 29, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Yum -- that's a fun drink...thanks for sharing...amazingly I never had that one before. That's a perfect BlogHer '10 bevie!
July 29, 2009 at 4:40 PM
OMG -- that looks soooooo freakin' good. Sigh -- I miss alcohol.
July 29, 2009 at 5:35 PM
Those are good but can I say....lightweight! (giggle)
And Kudos to your DH for drinking them, too!
Hymmm...now I'm thinking I need to add Midori to my drink list...
