Alcoholic Cocktail Highball Glass 5 ingredients

Recipe

  • 1 oz Vodka (Apple)
  • 1 oz Triple Sec
  • 2 oz Sweet and Sour Mix
  • 4 - 5 oz Soda (Lemon Lime)
  • 2 dashes Blue Curacao

Instructions

A hybrid of Lynchburg Lemonade. The Blue Curacao is to add color, since without it its just a strange yellow, and the Blue turns the drink to an evil, acidic chartreuse almost-neon green. The Blue Curacao can be added before shaking if desired, but pouring it onto the near-complete cocktail gives it a nice cascading effect as the liquids Mix-it has a slightly sinister look to it as it mixes. Other flavors of Vodka can be substituted to taste depending on what you have on hand, it all compliments well with Soda (Lemon Lime). The unusual color makes it an interesting one to have in your hand in the bar of club since it catches the eye, and is a festive drink of choice to enjoy when celebrating St. Patricks Day if you aren't a fan of green Beer.Fill glass 2/3 of the way with ice cubes. Pour in Vodka, Triple Sec, and Sour Mix. Dump contents of glass into shaker and shake until outside of shaker is frosty. Pour into glass with more ice. Fill with Soda (Lemon Lime), shake Blue Curacao on top. Squeeze Lime on top of drink, set on rim. Serve with two straws.

About Green-Eyed Monster

The Green-Eyed Monster is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that combines the tartness of apple-flavored vodka with the citrusy sweetness of Triple Sec and the tangy kick of a sweet and sour mix. This drink is elevated by the effervescence of lemon-lime soda, which adds a sparkling finish, and is given a striking color with a couple of dashes of Blue Curacao, resulting in a mesmerizing green hue reminiscent of its namesake. The interplay of flavors creates a balanced and lively cocktail that's perfect for a lively gathering or a relaxing evening.

The origin of the Green-Eyed Monster cocktail is not well-documented, but its playful name likely draws inspiration from the phrase "green-eyed monster," a term famously used by Shakespeare to describe jealousy. The drink's eye-catching appearance and delightful mix of flavors make it a popular choice at parties and social events. With its appealing color and refreshing taste, the Green-Eyed Monster continues to be a favorite for those seeking a drink that's both visually and palatably exciting.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Highball Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
