Midori Sours

I've been working my way through a cocktail recipe book Mika (my oldest daughter) gave me and so here's one of my favorites.

Midori Sour

3 tablespoons Midori (or other melon flavored liqueur)
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon simple syrup

Shake well with ice and strain into glass of your choice.

Simple Syrup I make and keep in the refrig - boil 1 cup water with 3/4 cup sugar until the sugar is dissolved.

Another one I like is
Black Eyed Susan Cocktail

3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup pineapple juice
3 tablespoons vodka
3 tablespoons white rum
2 tablespoons orange liqueur

Stir together then pour over crushed ice in two glasses. Garnish with fresh lime slices and cherries.

Cheers
