Mount Fuji

I have seen this recipe somewhere on the web, but can't remember the name given to this drink. Since it is green, brown, and (what was supposed to be) white, just like a mountain capped with snow, I decided to call it Mount Fuji in honor of Midori's Japanese roots.
Really delicious. not too sweet, not too heavy, light on alcohol, truly worth your while.

To prepare Mount Fuji, layer carefully:
  • Midori
  • espresso
  • cream
I used decaf espresso, and poured it while still hot. I guess regular espresso would have been as good, and would have the additional benefit of caffeine, but it was too late when I prepared this drink. For the cream I used heavy whipping cream, but I believe something lighter would not hurt at all. Also, slightly less cream and slightly more Midori may make this shot even better.

Enjoy!

Springtime


Springtime - good name, as the drink is green and yellow, and generally delightful. I am afraid I have picked a wrong glass for it though. Perhaps a shorter and wider glass would be looking better.
To make springtime, layer equal amounts (about 1/2 ounce each):
        • Midori (a melon liquor)
        • whisky
        • white rum
The top, clear layer of rum cannot be seen, but it can be felt!

Emerald isle


This one consists of:
  • Midori (a melon liquer),
  • Blue Curacao,
  • Vodka (as usual, straight from freezer),
in equal parts. My vodka of choice is Zubrowka, even though it does have a pronounced taste of its own.

This drink is excellent, just a tad too sweet for me.
