Author Notes: This may look like a trick, but one sip and you will see that it is a TREAT! A midori cocktail is the first thing that popped in my mind when this week’s theme was announced – it is the perfect wicked witch green! This is what the adults at my house will be drinking on Halloween. Note: The black lava sea salt contains activated charcoal, which has a very dramatic visual effect against the fluorescent green of the midori. I will post a photo soon. - gingerroot
Serves 1, easily doubled or tripled
- 1 1/2 ounce Midori
- 1 1/2 ounce Malibu Rum
- 1 1/2 ounce Special Sour mix (see recipe below)
- Black Lava Sea Salt for rim
- Gummy eyeball (optional)
- Rim a martini glass in black lava sea salt if desired. Fill a shaker halfway with ice cubes. Add equal parts Midori, Malibu Rum, and Special Sour mix. Shake and strain into a martini glass. Sprinkle a few grains of salt into your glass if desired, for a dramatic, Halloween-y effect. Eyeballs optional. ENJOY!
- SPECIAL SOUR MIX: 2 cups coconut water + 1/3 cup agave + Juice of two Meyer lemons Combine ingredients in a glass jar with a lid and stir to mix. Refrigerate until chilled. Use as needed for Trick-or-Treat-tinis.

collecting the ingredients-- so far have only the gummy eyeballs. target is selling an ice cube tray with gummy eyeballs in the tray, so i have that down. i have to find a (small) bottle of Midori, since it is obviously essential but i'm a little leery of the taste...there's a market on sundays that sells exotic salts, going to try for that this sunday aft if possible, hope to have everything by halloween weekend. trick or treat for grownups!!

Love your photo! What a great drink. I have would use peeled grapes for the eyeballs, definitely.

"I have and would use" is what I meant to write. Long day! Could use a 'tini right about now

Thanks, Sagegreen! Actually, after I posted this, I went out in search of gummy eyeballs and could not find any. Then I thought about all the fruit that could easily fill-in, peeled grapes, as you suggested, or peeled lychee, longan or rambutan. They would all be delicious with this drink, and healthful break from all the Halloween candy!

"a healthful break" is what I meant to type...I have not even had a long day yet, but maybe this means it will turn into one. I guess one of these is in order later tonight! : )

I wish there was a picture... I bet the colors are just fabulous!!

TiggyBee, I just added the best of my bad photos of this cocktail...actually, it makes it look a little dark and spooky, which, given the theme, works, I think. If you like sweet cocktails, I hope you try it this Halloween, because the colors are fabulous and I think it tastes delicious!

does it taste good? i know that's a subjective question

It is a sweet cocktail, and goes down really easy. The coconut from the Malibu balances the slightly medicinal taste of the melon-y Midori. I actually don't drink much of either but started with the Midori because of the color and the addition of Malibu was a suggestion from my brother. The sour mix is based on the simple syrup I used in my Thai Basil sorbet.
