June bug (cocktail)

The June Bug or Dune Bug is a tropical cocktail. It consists of a mixture of a strong spirit, usually vodka, with coconut rum (such as Malibu), melon liqueur (such as Midori), orange or pineapple juice, and lime juice. It is shaken with ice and served long, in a highball glass or hurricane glass, over ice with optional fruit garnish. Depending on the relative quantities used, it may range in colour from bright green to a sludgy orange-brown.
