Last week's candy corn cordial and slime rickey were such a playful way to get in the spirit of Halloween that I couldn't wait to continue on with the fun.
This drink's day-glo-green hue hints at just the right amount of macabre without being too kitschy. It's also a last relic of the now-defunct Jade Bar, formerly one of my favorite haunts in San Francisco.
With a punchy melon flavor that resembles a lime Skittle, it'd be a great adult substitute for trick or treating. Interested in this ghoulish gulp? Then keep reading for the recipe.

I could so make this right now!
1I used to enjoy these at Jade bar as well. I normally am not a huge fan of Midori, but it's very subtle here. Thanks!
2nancita, agreed -- you can only taste a hint of the Midori (in a good way!)
3Oh man midori is my absolute favorite, especially midori sours! Yum! I will have to try this and maybe add a little more midori!
