    🥃 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.

    If you’re still curious as to why you should shake this recipe up, here are a few reasons why you might consider trying it:

    • Sweet and fruity. This shot is full of sweet melon flavor. It is fruity and well balanced with the added subtle nutty and zesty citrus flavors.
    • It’s bright green. It has a beautiful greenish color that creates an element of visual appeal. It makes it perfect for adding in to green themed events like St Patrick’s Day or, for serving when you just want a bright centerpiece drink.
    • Super easy and super fast. It only has three ingredients all of which are relatively simple. And, you don’t have to do anything fancy when making this shot. All you have to do is shake it together. You should be able to get this one ready and 3 minutes or less.
