Alcoholic Cocktail Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass 4 ingredients

Recipe

  • 1/2 oz Gin
  • 1 1/2 oz Jagermeister
  • 4 oz Blueberry cocktail Mix
  • 1 - 2 Cherries

Instructions

Created by a young Irish Canadian from London, Ontario. Very popular around Christmas parties (instead of Creme de Menthe and Candycane Cocktails) and its deemed acceptable by some on St. Patricks day.Start by pouring the 1/2 oz. of Gin into your glass. Then, add the Jagermeister. Fill the rest of the glass up with standard Blueberry Cocktail Mix (as a side note: the Blueberry Cocktail Mix is non-alcoholic, so it can be found at your local grocery store if your place of liquor purchasing does not have any in stock). Watch as the drink turns an odd green! Toss in a Cherry to simulate the "Red planet". Serve.

About Little Green Men

The "Little Green Men" cocktail is a vibrant and intriguing drink that combines the bold flavors of gin and Jägermeister with the fruity sweetness of a blueberry cocktail mix, all garnished with one or two cherries. This eye-catching cocktail is known for its deep, rich color and complex flavor profile. The gin provides a crisp, botanical foundation, while Jägermeister adds a unique, herbal depth. The blueberry cocktail mix brings a refreshing fruitiness that balances the stronger spirits, making it a delightful choice for those seeking a drink with a bit of mystique.

The origins of the "Little Green Men" cocktail are somewhat elusive, much like the mythical extraterrestrial beings it is named after. The drink likely emerged in the cocktail renaissance of the late 20th to early 21st century, a period known for experimental and playful drink creations. The whimsical name and the striking color are likely designed to evoke curiosity and a sense of fun, echoing the intrigue surrounding the idea of alien life. While it may not have a storied history, the "Little Green Men" cocktail is certainly a conversation starter, inviting drinkers to explore its layers of flavor and enjoy the playful nod to the unknown.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned 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!
