Midori: 1.5oz
The star of the show, Midori brings a vibrant green hue and a sweet, melon flavor that is both unique and refreshing. It's not too overpowering at 1.5oz, which allows the cocktail to maintain a delightful balance. Too much Midori? You might as well be sipping on a melon farm. Not enough? You'll lose the heart of the drink. If you're out of Midori, try a different melon liqueur for a similar profile, although Midori really is the key to this drink's particular charm.

Vodka: 1oz
Vodka is the silent backbone of many cocktails, adding alcoholic strength without overpowering the other flavors. At 1oz, it's just enough to let you know it's there without turning the drink into a boozy punch. Skipping it would mean a rather weak cocktail; too much could lead to a tasteless spirit domination, overshadowing the Midori's playful notes. Substitute with gin for a herbal twist, or tequila for a Battery Acid with a bite.
Alex Green
Lime Juice: 1oz
The zesty lime juice is essential to balancing the cocktail, adding a sharp acidity that cuts through the sweetness and elevates the flavor profile. Perfect at 1oz to not pucker you up like a cartoon character, but leaving out the lime juice makes the drink one-dimensional. You can use lemon juice for a different type of citrus kick or even a splash of grapefruit for a bittersweet alternative.

Ice: To fill the glass
Ice doesn't just keep your drink cold; it's a crucial ingredient in controlling dilution, which can drastically change the flavor profile as you sip. Using too little ice can result in a quick warm-up and an overly strong drink, while too much ice may leave you with a watered-down disappointment. If you prefer a less diluted drink, use larger ice cubes that melt slower.
