Midori Margaritas

Sounds nummy to me... A Rum Infused Life: Midori Margaritas

A Midori Margarita recipe for bidding summer adieu.

1 1/2 oz white/clear Tequila (you can use regular tequila, but the color will look bad when mixed with the green Midori)

1/2 oz triple sec

1 oz fresh lime juice

1/2 oz Midori melon liqueur

Salt

Prepare it as you would any other margarita - moisten the rim of a cocktail glass with lime juice and dip in salt. Shake ingredients together, and pour into a glass filled with crushed ice.
