Hi !
Your cocktail looks very tasty and I would like to make it.
But I have a few questions.
As I live in France, do you have any tips for me to find/replace the “sweet and sour mix” ? Is it this mix that give the color to the cocktail ?
And the Midori sour is the Japanese plum alcohol right ?
Thanks a lot for your answer and to share such beautiful recipes/pics 🙂
Hello!
Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t have the answer to the sweet & sour mix question, but you can also use Grenadine. It won’t give as much tartness but it will give some bright color! For Midori Sour – it’s actually a melon liqueur. Look for a green bottle!
The liquor is just called Midori.
Hi bro, the sweet and sour mix is a mix off 500 ml of lemon juice and 500 gramms of sugar. Mix it well and you can use it during the next 2 week. Cheers from Russia
Can you tell me how to make a virgin version of this?
Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have a virgin version of this drink. I would try using something along the lines of Mountain Dew or possibly Lemon-Lime Kool Aid and then follow the instructions for the sanding sugar. Thanks!
Can I substitute the cherry vodka for regular vodka? Thanks for the delishious looking recipe!
Omg totally – that sounds amazing!!
