Alcoholic Cocktail Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass 5 ingredients

Recipe

  • 1/2 oz Gin
  • 1/2 oz Vodka
  • 1/2 oz Midori Melon Liqueur
  • 1/2 oz Lime Juice
  • Lime

Instructions

I decided to call this a Biotini because the bright green color reminds me of the Biogun in Unreal Tournament. It also looks a little like hazardous waste. Put all the liquids into a shaker with ice. Shake until nice and cold. Pour into a martini glass, and zest a little Peel Lime on top. Mm tangy tastey! I really like the taste of Lime, but you might wanna tone it down below 25% of the drink if you are less a fan of the tart. Whatever you do, be sure to squeeze fresh Limes! Do not use Lime Juice from a bottle. Its not even close to the same thing. I think I might crank up the Gin a tad next time, but this is very drinkable! Since No. Ten is so expensive I usually reach behind that bottle for plain Tanqueray or Rangpur (makes a great Gin and tonic!). This may not be an "appropriate" use for it, but I thought I'd splurge. I gotta say, No. Ten has a little extra something. I may have to splurge a little more often.

About Biotini

The Biotini is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that combines the crispness of gin and vodka with the sweet, fruity flavors of Midori Melon Liqueur and the tartness of lime juice. This enticing blend creates a balanced drink with a delightful green hue, making it as visually appealing as it is delicious. The Biotini is often garnished with a slice of lime, adding a touch of citrus aroma and enhancing the overall presentation. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a mix of sweetness and zest, offering a refreshing escape with every sip.

The origins of the Biotini are not well-documented, but it is a modern twist on the classic martini, incorporating the distinct taste and color of Midori. This melon liqueur, originating from Japan, gained popularity in the 1970s and has since been a favorite ingredient in various cocktails. The Biotini likely emerged as bartenders experimented with new combinations, seeking to create a drink that stands out both in taste and appearance. Today, it enjoys a niche following among cocktail enthusiasts who appreciate its unique flavor profile and striking presentation.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
