Midori is used as in ingredient in cocktails, for example a 'Midori Illusion'. It is usually drunk mixed with lemonade, fresh lemon juice, lime juice, or pineapple juice. Midori is 21% alcohol by volume, but as it is a mixer the actual amount used in a single drink is usually one 'shot' (30 mL). If a higher alcohol content is desired in the beverage, vodka may also be used in the drink. Midori is extremely sweet, and the tangy fruit juice cuts the sugar level to a more palatable level.
