Limoncello Midori Sour A Sweet Mixed Drink Recipe All Year ‘Round

When I turned 21, my very 1st legal cocktail was a Midori Sour. I have been a fangirl ever since. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s simply because a good Midori Sour is just so yummy. I can’t say. But, I can guarantee once you taste it, you’ll know what I’m talking about! This recipe is for people age 21+.

Since Midori is a melon flavored liquor, it goes great with lemon and lime flavored pop. Which, is what they used to mix up my 1st one.

When I moved here to Vegas, I was introduced to the awesome sauce Limoncello. That bartender and I were fast friends! I swapped out the pop for Limoncello on a whim and it was so on! Come see!

You’ll quickly add this drink to your list of cocktails to impress your friends. Another tasty cocktail is this lemon drop with Limoncello. With just 3 ingredients, you’ll be a master mixologist at your next gathering.
