Norm the Niner

The "Norm the Niner" is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that perfectly balances sweet and tart flavors, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a fruity twist. The drink combines 2 ounces of apple schnapps and 2 ounces of sour apple pucker schnapps, delivering a double dose of crisp apple flavors. This is further enhanced by the addition of 1 ounce of Rose's Sour Apple Mix, which intensifies the tangy apple profile. A splash of lemon-lime soda adds a bubbly effervescence, providing a refreshing lift to the drink's overall taste and making it a delightful option for social gatherings or casual sipping.

The origin of "Norm the Niner" is somewhat shrouded in mystery, but it is believed to be inspired by the spirit of college sports culture, particularly nodding to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, whose mascot is "Norm the Niner." This cocktail captures the lively and spirited atmosphere often associated with sports events and tailgates, with its vibrant green hue and crisp, invigorating taste. While not a classic cocktail with a storied past, "Norm the Niner" stands out for its modern flair and ability to evoke a sense of youthful enthusiasm and camaraderie.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Wine 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!
