![]() You can do all kinds of cool stuff to water. The trick to doing really good frozen drinks is messing with the water. We're also going to have frozen margaritas. If there was an ingredient that was a bridge between tiki and disco, it's Midori. So we are doing that drink as a tribute to the way Midori is actually made. They blend those with Louis Royer cognac. ![]() They do a melon distillate with one and then they take a high proof spirit and fortify it with melon juice from the other. It is green! But it's a fascinating process. When we were doing it at Nightingale Room people kept asking me about Midori and I realized I had no idea how Midori is made.Ī. I've been using that trick for a little while. The seeds give it bitterness similar to the way they make agua de melon in Mexico.
