The story behind it

The maker

Originally launched by Suntory in 1978 during a party at the famous Studio 54 in New York, Midori quickly became a global sensation. Its launch catalyzed a new wave of vibrant, fruity cocktails during the height of the disco era, establishing its place behind bars worldwide.

How it is made

Created in Japan by the legendary Suntory distillery, Midori is crafted using a unique blend of premium Yubari King and Muskmelon juices. The specialty melons are harvested and processed in Japan to capture their intense aromatic oils before being blended into this iconic emerald-green liqueur.
