The Green Lantern Cocktail
The Green Lantern Cocktail is for you if you like a fun, refreshing drink with a hint of superhero.
It has a vivid green color, a sweet taste, and a hint of citrus. It’s quite easy to create.
Great for parties, movie nights, or any time you want a drink that looks as wonderful as it tastes.
Let’s make one!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces of vodka
- 1 ounce of Midori melon liqueur
- ½ oz of juice from a fresh lime
- 1/2 ounce of triple sec
- 2 ounces of lemon-lime soda, such Sprite or 7UP
- Cubes of ice
- A lime wheel and a cherry for decoration
Shaker for cocktails
Jigger (or measurement tool)
Strainer
A tall glass
Instructions
- Put ice in the shaker
- Mix in the lime juice, vodka, Midori, and triple sec.
- Give it a shake!
- Pour into a large glass with new ice
- Add lemon-lime soda and a garnish on top.
Tips for a Perfect Cocktail
- Cool everything down! A cool glass and ingredients make a cocktail that is smoother.
- Give it a good shake! The more you combine, the more balanced the flavors will be.
- Change how lovely it is. Use soda water instead of lemon-lime soda if you don’t want it to be as sweet.
- Make a lot of it. Mix up a pitcher of this and pour it over ice for a fun party cocktail.
Alternatives and Storage
- If you don’t have Midori, you can use another melon liqueur or switch it out for apple schnapps for a different flavor.
- If you don’t have triple sec, you can use Cointreau or Grand Marnier instead.
- Want it to be stronger? Instead of soda, pour it over ice as a quick drink.
- It’s preferable to make this drink fresh, but if you make a batch without soda, you may keep it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you serve it, add soda!
