It may have one already, I dunno. Usually in a tumbler (but I’m a light drinker): Ice 1/4 Midori the remaining 1/2 is equal parts Sprite and Lime Juice There’s a story behind the drink, but I’m just wondering if there’s an easier way to order the darn thing! If there’s no name, then help me name it. 😃 ---

Actually, it’s pretty scary because it’s not that bad. Honest. It tastes kinda like a lime Jolly Rancher. Which I suppose means its only good if you like Jolly Ranchers… One of the other drinks…erm…“created” last New Years was a 1/2 Stoli Vanil 1/2 Grenadine shot. I wasn’t touching that one with the proverbial 10-foot pole. ---

Here is the [Webtender](http://www.webtender.com/cgi-bin/search?name=&ingr=midori+sprite+lime+juice&what=drink&show=10&verbose=on) page for drinks with those ingredients. A great name (that showed up under a Midori search) was Alien Urine. ---

A few years ago, in a drunken moment of artistic expression, we stumbled upon a drink combination similar to yours: absolut currant, midori and lime. Anyway, we took to calling it Melonade. Just the thing on a hot afternoon… ---

The Gagging Pelican. No reason. That’s just a name my friend created for a fictional position in the Kama Sutra. If you don’t like that, I second J.R. Lime. ---

Perhaps it is 1/3 Midori, 1/3 Sprite and 1/3 Lime Juice.
