Ingredients
Scale
Main Spirits:
- 2 ounces (60 milliliters) vodka
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) sour apple schnapps
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) blue curacao
Citrus and Mixer:
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) fresh lime juice
Serving and Garnish:
- Ice cubes
- Gummy worms or Halloween candy for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Chill a cocktail shaker by filling it completely with ice cubes to create a frosty base for the drink.
- Pour vodka, sour apple schnapps, blue curaçao, and freshly squeezed lime juice directly into the ice-filled shaker.
- Vigorously shake the mixture for 15-20 seconds to ensure thorough chilling and proper ingredient integration.
- Select a martini glass or festive Halloween-themed glass and strain the vibrant green-blue liquid smoothly from the shaker.
- Transform the cocktail’s presentation by strategically arranging gummy worms or playful Halloween candies along the glass rim or floating atop the drink.
- Serve the cocktail immediately while still icy cold, allowing the whimsical Halloween spirit to enhance the drinking experience.
Notes
- Swap vodka with gin for a botanical twist that adds complexity to the Halloween-themed drink.
- Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter, more vibrant citrus flavor that elevates the cocktail’s overall taste.
- Create a non-alcoholic version by replacing alcoholic ingredients with green apple juice, blue sports drink, and lime soda for a kid-friendly Halloween beverage.
- Chill the glass beforehand to keep the cocktail colder longer and enhance the dramatic green-blue color that makes this drink visually striking.
