Miles

The Miles cocktail is a vibrant and refreshing mixed drink that combines the sweet and fruity flavors of Midori Melon Liqueur, vodka, and peach schnapps, with the light, zesty tang of lemonade. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a sweet and fruity profile in their drinks, as it balances the bold melon and peach flavors with a crisp citrus finish. The bright green hue from the Midori adds a visually appealing touch, making it an eye-catching addition to any gathering or party.

The origins of the Miles cocktail are not well-documented, but it likely emerged during the cocktail renaissance when bartenders began experimenting with colorful and flavorful liqueurs like Midori. The use of vodka as a neutral base allows the unique flavors of the melon liqueur and peach schnapps to shine, while lemonade provides a refreshing counterbalance. This drink is a testament to the creativity and playfulness of modern mixology, offering a delightful blend of flavors that is both easy to enjoy and easy to make.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Highball 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!
