I’m in the midst of planning a spooktacular Halloween party and came across these colorful cocktail recipes by Midori Melon Liqueur- the bartender’s secret weapon! After creating a few test cocktails (you know, just in case), I can say from first-hand that Midori Melon Liqueur is bursting with flavor along with that radiant green color–making it perfect for Hallows Eve. These crazy cocktails are perfect for us ladies with the sweet tooth and are sure to get your costumed guests in the creepy mood. Trick or TREAT!
