One thing that I enjoy about Midori is that they come up with some of the most creative cocktails you will find. This Melon Eye-Tini is no exception and requires you to not only muddle the main ingredients, top it off with a green tea ginger ale (Yummy!), and have fun spanking some basil leaves (releases a bit of tension) and positioning the grape garnish to look like eyes floating in your drink. It all comes down to creating a fun, flavorful, interesting, and somewhat creepy drink that is ideal for your Halloween entertaining needs.
