Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 oz vodka choose a neutral or apple-flavored vodka for more apple taste
  • 1 oz green apple schnapps
  • 0.75 oz midori (melon liqueur) adds vibrant green color and subtle flavor
  • 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice for tartness
  • 0.25 oz simple syrup adjust sweetness as desired
  • Crushed ice crushed ice enough to fill shaker

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Martini glass
  • Measuring jigger

Method
 

  1. Measure out all the liquid ingredients using a jigger, including vodka, green apple schnapps, melon liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with crushed ice, creating a cold, frosty base for mixing.
  3. Add the measured vodka, green apple schnapps, melon liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
  4. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and the outside feels cold to the touch.
  5. Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass through a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and create a smooth surface.
  6. Garnish the drink with a thin slice of green apple or a spooky twist like a spiral of lemon peel for an eerie effect.

Notes

For added spooky effect, rim the glass with green sugar or add a gummy worm on the rim.
