Midori Liqueur Substitute

Midori is one of those liqueurs that’s known more by its brand name than by its flavor description. It has a distinct melon flavor that can be substituted with Dekuyper or McGuinness brands.

Expert Tips

Use Goldschlager cinnamon schnapps liqueur for a party. It has small gold flecks floating inside.

You can use champagne, Prosecco, Cava, or sparkling wine.

Keep leftover Midori in the refrigerator if you don’t plan on drinking it within a month or so.
