Equipment

  • 1 cocktail shaker
  • 1 cocktail glass

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce Midori
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • ½ ounce lemon juice
  • ½ ounce lime juice
  • 1 splash club soda to top

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker with ice, add Midori, vodka, lemon juice and lime juice. 
  • Shake for 10 to 15 seconds. Strain and pour into a glass with fresh ice. 
  • Top it off with a splash of club soda or lemon-lime soda.
  • Garnish with a slice of lemon.

Notes

  • Variations - Japanese Slipper: If you swap the vodka for triple sec, you will make a Japanese Slipper cocktail. Other popular variations are the Amaretto Sour and Whiskey Sour.
  • Garnish Ideas - Add a maraschino cherry, fresh citrus like limes or a candy cane for the holidays.
  • Stir - If you don't have a shaker, you can also mix this cocktail with a quick stir. Wait to add the soda until after you've stirred. 
  • Substitutions - If you don't have vodka, you can also use white rum or the spirit of your choice in its place.
  • Egg Whites - You can add an egg white to the cocktail shaker to create a frothy version of this drink. Some recipes include the egg white, but it's up to you what you prefer.
