Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz vodka preferably chilled
  • 1 oz sour apple liqueur or syrup for the green color and tart flavor
  • 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice adds brightness and balances sweetness
  • 2 drops green food coloring to achieve the eerie glow

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer
  • LED tealight or glow garnish

Method
 

  1. Fill your cocktail shaker halfway with ice, creating a cool base for mixing.
  2. Pour in the vodka, sour apple syrup, and fresh lemon juice into the shaker.
  3. Add two drops of green food coloring to the mixture, watching it swirl into a vibrant lime-green shade.
  4. Secure the lid tightly on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the outside becomes frosty and the mixture is well combined.
  5. Strain the chilled mixture into two coupe glasses, ensuring a smooth, glowing green surface free of ice shards.
  6. Place an LED tealight or a glow garnish underneath each glass to accentuate the eerie glow and enhance the spooky effect.
  7. Garnish each glass with a twisted green apple peel or a small apple slice for a sinister finishing touch.
  8. Serve immediately, allowing the glow to cast an otherworldly light as you sip through a straw or straight from the glass.

Notes

To enhance the glow effect, keep the LED tealight hidden beneath the glass. Adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your preferred brightness. For an extra spooky touch, rim the glass with black or green sugar if desired.
