Friday Happy Hour: June Bug

MidoriI've seen a dozen different recipes for this drink. Almost all of them feature Midori and a harder liquor, but a lot of them don't go beyond that and a little pineapple juice.

But this recipe at DrinksMixer.com goes a bit further. The midori is there, but is adds a lot of fruit to the mix: peach schnapps, creme de bananes, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. I've seen recipes that include Malibu rum or vodka, but it looks like the schnapps is taking that role in this particular recipe.

June Bug

3/4 oz creme de bananes
3/4 oz peach schnapps
3/4 oz. Midori melon liqueur
fill with 1/2 pineapple juice, 1/2 cranberry juice

Pour into Collins glass filled with ice. Stir and serve.

That sounds too much like something I threw up on in college.

Just reading the recipe makes me want a nice dry glass of white wine, or better yet, perhaps an alka-seltzer.
