Instructions
- Chill a cocktail shaker by filling it completely with crisp, solid ice cubes to create an optimal mixing environment.

- Select a highball or hurricane glass and generously fill with fresh ice cubes to maintain cocktail temperature.
- Carefully strain the thoroughly mixed liquor blend into the prepared glass, allowing smooth liquid transfer without ice fragments.

- Complete the presentation with a citrus accent by artfully positioning a wedge of lemon or lime on the glass rim, creating a visually intriguing and aromatic garnish.
- Serve the cocktail immediately to preserve its chilled temperature and vibrant flavor profile, inviting immediate consumption.
Notes
- Shake vigorously to ensure all ingredients are well-combined and the cocktail is ice-cold for maximum flavor impact.
- Use fresh ice cubes in both the shaker and serving glass to prevent dilution and maintain the drink’s potency.
- Experiment with different spirits or swap out Midori for another melon liqueur to create your unique twist on this Halloween-inspired cocktail.
- For a lower-alcohol version, reduce the amount of spirits or substitute some with a clear, flavor-neutral spirit like vodka.
