St. Patrick’s Day Midori Margarita with Green Pop Rocks Rim
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Midori melon liqueur
- 1 oz Tequila (preferably silver)
- 1 oz Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 oz Simple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- Green Pop Rocks (for rimming the glass)
- Ice cubes
- Lime for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Pour a small amount of lime juice onto a plate, and spread green Pop Rocks on another plate. Dip the rim of the margarita glass first into the lime juice, then into the Pop Rocks, coating the rim evenly.
- Mix the Drink: In a shaker, combine the Midori, tequila, lime juice, and simple syrup (if using). Fill the shaker with ice, cover it, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.
- Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime slice and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the unique, festive flavor of your St. Patrick’s Day Midori Margarita!
Note: The addition of Midori not only gives the margarita a vibrant green color perfect for St. Patrick’s Day but also adds a sweet, melon flavor that pairs wonderfully with the tartness of the lime. The green Pop Rocks add a fun and festive touch, creating a playful experience as you sip!
