all you need to make them~

Midori, melon flavored liqueur

prosecco or sparkling wine (brut is best to counter the sweet liqueur, unless you love sweet!)

melon wedges

swizzle sticks, optional

i poured the Midori into a tiny pitcher so guests could add as much or little as they liked…but a simple splash will do!

i cut a honeydew melon into wedges and threaded them onto decorative skewers.  you could also thread melon balls…but i found the wedges to be easier & quicker!

guests can grab a flute and mix their own St. Patrick’s Day cocktail!  it’s such a pretty color don’t you think?

  1. I love this set up Lori I and having that beautiful window behind it all makes the green really pop. The green drink is just perfect.

      Oh thank you Brenda! We are lucky we have lots of windows in this house…learning to photograph in front of them is another story! 🙂 I thought the pale green drink was a pretty one…and easy too!
