Midori Vodka Apple Cooler

Now this cocktail will be the star of any party! - by Jane Ash
  • 25 Nov 2019
Midori Vodka Apple Cooler
Prep: 20 Minutes - Easy - Serves 4
Proudly supported by

TIP! Melon ballers are available from specialty kitchen shops. If you prefer a sweeter drink, use lemonade instead of mineral water. Midori is a melon-flavoured liqueur. Skewers can be prepared up to several hours ahead. Keep, covered, in the fridge.

Ingredients

1 honeydew melon

4 small bamboo skewers

½ cup Midori

1/3 cup vodka

1 ½ cups apple juice, chilled

½ cup loosely-packed fresh mint leaves

1 small Granny Smith apple, quartered, cored, thinly sliced

2-3 cups ice cubes

2 cups sparkling natural mineral water or lemonade, chilled

Extra fresh mint leaves, to decorate

Method

  1. Using a melon baller, scoop out 12 balls from honeydew. Thread three balls onto each skewer (or wooden popsicle sticks). 

  2. Combine Midori, vodka and juice in a medium jug. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

  3. Divide mint and apple among four tall glasses (1 2/3-cup capacity). 

  4. Place 4 ice-cubes in each glass. Pour about ¾ cup Midori mixture into each one. Top up with mineral water or lemonade. Serve with honeydew skewers. Decorate with extra mint.
