Skinny Dipper

The Skinny Dipper is all about the contrast between mellow and tart flavors, and blending the two to bring out the best in each other. The ratio is important here – three times as much of the tart cranberry juice as the mellow Midori.

Cranberry and melon may not sound like a natural combo, but it actually works well – particularly if you like both flavors on their own. This is a nice choice for when you’re wanting a drink with a goodly amount of fruit juice in it.

Recipe

• 2 ounces Midori
• 6 ounces cranberry juice

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in both ingredients and shake. Fill a tall glass with ice and strain the mixture into it.
