🥃 What is a Broken Down Golf Cart Shot?

A broken down golf cart shot is a vibrant green cocktail that is made by combining equal parts Midori and amaretto with a few dashes of lime juice. The combination of these ingredients creates a sweet, melon flavored drink that has hints of both citrus and a little nuttiness.

Both the color and the strong melon flavor of the shot come from the Midori. Some additional sweetness and a light nutty flavor come from the amaretto. The lime juice is added to bring the sweetness down a little with a citrus tang.

This shot is very light on the alcohol content. Both the Midori and amaretto are around 21% alcohol by volume. And there is no straight liquor added in.
