Mixologist Victoria D’Amato Moran is a genius when it comes to holiday cocktails that include Midori. This Peppermint Kiss is an enlightening and touchy mix of of the liqueurs' melon and peppermint, a combination that she pulls off beautifully, as was also shown in the Holiday Hopper. As is proven in both drinks, the fruit and mint can work but I do caution you to use the proportions as she has because it is a well-tuned balance that can easily be thrown off.
