The Midori Sour, from which this variant derives, became popular in the late 20th century, primarily due to the introduction of Midori in the United States in 1978. Midori, a Japanese melon liqueur, quickly gained popularity for its unique flavor and color. The addition of vodka in Carrie’s Midori Sour provides an extra layer of complexity, while the lemon-lime soda adds a bubbly finish. The cocktail is a modern twist on the classic sour, embodying a blend of sweetness, sourness, and fizz that delights the palate.
