Midori-ish Sour
This sweet, fruity yet tangy cocktail is a perfectly balanced treat for a hot summer’s day. The citrus and mezcal contribute their own depth of flavour to the melon liqueur, creating something refreshingly different. The egg white or aquafaba are optional, but they do add a nice foam to the top of the drink.
