For everyone at home trying to deal with their relatives.

Recipe for a ~3 oz drink.

Taken from: http://cocktails.about.com/od/cocktailrecipes/r/grinch_cktl.htm.

Ingredients:

• Lemon juice
• Simple syrup
• Midori liqueur
• Optional: Ice
• Garnish: Maraschino cherry

Prep:

• Chill your glass OR put 2-3 ice cubes in it.
• Find a shaker.

Directions:

• Pour 2 shots of Midori into the shaker.
• Add 1/2 oz of lemon juice.
• Shake well.
• Strain into your glass.
• Garnish with the cherry.

If the drink is too...

• Strong: Let the ice cubes melt a bit to dilute the drink, or try adding a splash of lemon-lime soda.
• Weak:  Add a half shot of vodka, or just double this recipe.
• Bland: Add small amounts of lemon juice to taste, or add a teaspoon of sugar.
