Released in 1978, MIDORI was the main ingredient highlighted in “The Universe” cocktail, the first prize winner in the U.S. Bartenders’ Guild Annual Competition. Since then, MIDORI has gained an outstanding reputation among leading bartenders and cocktail designers worldwide for its excellent quality and superb versatility. Deriving its name from the word for the green in Japanese, MIDORI is the original melon liqueur enhanced by premium Japanese musk melons. Its bright green color is distinctive, but the pleasantly sweet liqueur offers great versatility for cocktails, especially those paired with citrus and other fruits.
Midori is a clear and sweet liqueur with a subtle melon flavor. When it was released in 1964, it was initially named Hermes Melon Liqueur. The name Midori, which translates as green, was introduced in 1978. In the same year, the liqueur gained international attention after it was launched at the legendary ‘Studio 54’ in New York.
