Notes
- Variations of this cocktail exist among bartenders, so you can adjust ratios and ingredients to taste.
- To serve by the pitcher for 8-10 people, chill ingredients well, combine in a pitcher, refrigerate until use, then stir and serve over ice with pineapple garnishes.
- You can serve the cocktail frozen by blending ingredients with ice or freezing the mixture to create a slush-like texture.
- Midori is a melon-flavored liqueur; if unavailable, use a similar melon liqueur like Bul.
- Non-alcoholic versions can be attempted using melon flavor essences, non-alcoholic spirits, and sodas, but the original is strongly alcoholic.
