Thanks, I mostly tried to work with what I had or could get easily. Midori is perfect for getting that neon green color into drinks, bottle is cool but previous years it came in a frosted glass bottle that looked better. If you can get your hands on a melon ramune at an Asian market it would be close to an NA Midori.
Your explanation fits my headcannon for Mezz, mix of being a lightweight and bootleg alcohol being rocket fuel. Some of the liquors I used come in higher proof so you could get there if you wanted (navy strength gin, bottled in bond rye and applejack, everclear). Also kind of fits the whole theme of how he sees himself vs where his limits actually are.
