Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz vodka high-quality preferred
  • 1 oz green apple schnapps for the tart apple flavor
  • 0.5 oz green crème de menthe for color and shadowy note
  • 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice adds tartness and balance
  • 0.25 oz simple syrup optional, for sweetness adjustments
  • Ice cubes ice for shaking and chilling

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Martini glass

Method
 

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes to ensure a good chill.
  2. Pour in the vodka, green apple schnapps, green crème de menthe, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker.
  3. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled and the mixture turns slightly frothy.
  4. This helps the flavors blend and the drink achieve a smooth, icy texture.
  5. Remove the lid and carefully strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass, using a fine mesh strainer if desired to catch small ice shards.
  6. Garnish with a small slice of green apple or a twist of lemon peel on the rim for an eye-catching finish.

Notes

For an extra spooky effect, consider adding dry ice for a smoky presentation, but handle with caution.
