Inspired by a spider's web, the Midori Spider's Kiss features accents of fresh lemon and SKYY® Vodka. This festive cocktail lights up the night with Midori's vibrant green hue and distinctive Yubari melon flavor. Garnished with a chocolate web, this creepy cocktail is the perfect addition to any bar or Halloween table setting.

Created by award-winning Mixologist Victoria D'Amato-Moran, this festive cocktail not only stands as a refreshment, but decor as well. "The colors and details of the Spider's Kiss add a dramatic flair to the occasion," says D'Amato-Moran who suggests using frosted glasses for an added ghostly feel or grenadine for a bloody spider bite effect. "From food and drinks to costumes and decor, it's the details and accents that make a Halloween bash unforgettable."

In addition to the Spider's Kiss cocktail, shooter recipes such the Midori Venom, Midori She Devil, Midori Ghost Chaser, Midori Gangreen and Midori Scoobie Snax also add a ghastly glow to the nighttime festivities. For larger groups, the Midori Halloween Harvest punch offers a blend of seasonal flavors like cranberry and apple to create a festive taste that's easy to make and serve.

Whether hosting or simply attending a party, Midori offers a ghoulish green recipe sure to put everyone in the right spirit. For more information on Midori and additional cocktail recipes, please visit www.midoriusa.com
