Notes
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, add a little more simple syrup or try a dash of agave syrup for a richer sweetness.
- Coconut water variation: Use flavored coconut water (like pineapple or mango) for an extra tropical twist and added complexity.
- Chill your glass: For the best experience, chill your martini glass in the freezer beforehand to keep your drink cold longer.
- Garnish options: Get creative with garnishes—add a small slice of fresh melon, or even a mint sprig to enhance the visual appeal and aroma.
- Non-alcoholic version: To make a mocktail, replace the vodka and Midori with melon-flavored soda or juice for a refreshing, alcohol-free option.
