About the Greenhorn

The Greenhorn is a sophisticated yet playful cocktail that balances the bright melon sweetness of Midori with the herbaceous depth of Suze and the clean agave notes of a high-quality blanco tequila. Created by bartender Bobby Heugel at Refuge in Houston, this drink highlights an underappreciated pairing of melon and agave.

Served in a Nick & Nora Glass and garnished with a green maraschino cherry, the Greenhorn proves that Midori can shine in a serious, stirred cocktail while still maintaining a fun and approachable personality.
