How to Mix a Midori Sour
Welcome to Common Man Cocktails, I’m your host Derrick Schommer and today we’re going to do a fairly rudimentary traditional style cocktail called the Midori Sour. We only referenced the Midori Sour but I don’t think we ever made one, as a matter of fact I checked. There’s no Midori Sour, it's—it has little egg white, a little lemon, you can do a lemon lime type thing, you can do a sweet sour mix of home made sweet sour mix, I think if you go and order a Midori Sour you’re going to get sour mix and Midori put together so it's going to be pretty sweet. I don’t know what this is going to be like.
Let’s start with the measuring glass, we’ll do the ounce and a half of Midori so we can put that in first, so it's going to be a nice green color and we’re going to put this in a low ball glass and then garnish it with some cherry. Some people use garnishes and some people just don’t care, so I think when you order them it's with a cherry. So what I’m going to do is let some of the whites, egg white, a little bit, all right, ice, and shake this up good. All right, instinctively I want to pour it in here but that would be dumb. Frothy like no tomorrow, do a little garnish here, trying to dig down into some of the juicy ones. Garnish that with a little cherry, there you go, you can’t even see like inside there, bright-bright green nice little frothy head on there.
It's like a—it's good, it's like a milkshake but it doesn’t have any of those taste of a milkshake. This is like very mellow, I had this at the restaurants, and maybe I’m wrong. The end result is you get something that was almost sickly super sweet, am I wrong? I get a weird sweetness, this you almost taste like you’re going to get that but it stops short. You’re not getting that super sour; you’re not getting a fake sweetness. It tastes really authentic, smooth, very Midori nice textures but it tones down the Midori really well. So there’s enough lemon to bring the Midori and calm down to where you’re getting a lot of those lemon flavors without getting that intensified super sweet like you do that makes your stomach hurts. You don’t get that, you’re not getting that feeling from this, so you can see now that it's starting to clear up a little bit.
That is the Midori Sour, I’m your host Derrick Shcommer, check us out on everdaydrinkers.net, I think we have a new comment. We’re teaching you how to drink.
