This green cocktail (from Sandra Lee semi-homemade Cocktail Time, pg. 80) is easy to make – however I must note that I used Jose Cuervo gold tequila – I just don’t like the way silver tequila makes me feel.  Also, I really think there is a HUGE difference in melon liquors, so I used Midori – the flavor is worth the price!

I have to say that this cocktail is on the sweet side, what with the pineapple juice and all- however that is just fine with me.  I think next time though I will skip the whipped creme garnish – even for a desert gal like me, it was a tad much.

Be sure to serve this VERY cold. I think I didn’t keep it shaking long enough, and I ended up adding ice to my glass.

So enjoy Don’s Delight —- ohhhhhh — I finally got why it’s named this – it has to do with the liquor brand Ms. Sandra Lee used. The whole time I was making this cocktail, I kept thinking “why Don? – the last person I knew with that name was not a nice person”. I really didn’t want to make this cocktail.  I feel much better now that I get it. Yikes.. shades of SNL, the early years!

I know… whatever.

Oh, after all my rambling, I did like this cocktail, so out of a LUSH IT, LUSH IT A LOT, or LEAVE IT, I give this a Semi-HomeTested rating of LUSH IT.
