Louisiana Longhorn Cafe

Midori Margarita

Basic Tequila, Midori Melon Liqueur, Gran Gala, lime juice and sweet & sour.  Too much melon. It looks like it could glow in the dark. Tequila is not very discernible. Too sweet on the sweet & sour. 5/10

This time using Charro Triple Sec instead of Gran Gala, and less olive juice.

1 oz 1800 Silver
1 oz Charro Triple Sec
1 oz Pompeii Lime Juice
1/2 tsp olive juice
2 tsp simple syrup

Shake with ice and pour with strainer in martini glass with two olives.

Definitely sweeter.

7/10

1 oz. 1800 Silver Tequila
1 oz Gran Gala
1 oz Pompeii Lime juice

Not bad for first try. Too much orange liqueur taste from gran gala though. 5/10
