Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and equipment. It’s helpful to have everything ready before you start mixing.

Fill the Shaker: Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker, filling it about halfway.

Pour in the Liquids: Add the vodka, Midori, orange juice, and cranberry juice to the shaker.

Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This mixes the flavors and chills the cocktail beautifully.

Strain and Serve: Using a strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.

Garnish: Add a few fresh melon balls on top for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Enjoy! Sip your refreshing Melon Ball cocktail and enjoy the delightful combination of fruity flavors.

Variations

Melon Ball Spritzer: Add club soda for a sparkling twist.

Tropical Melon Ball: Substitute pineapple juice for the orange juice.

Non-Alcoholic Version: Replace vodka and Midori with melon-flavored sparkling water and fruit juices.

Tips and Substitutions
