Ingredients
  

  • 1 oz green apple liqueur such as sour apple schnapps
  • 1 oz vodka high quality preferred
  • 0.5 oz grenadine use sparingly for color
  • 3 oz champagne chilled, for topping
  • 1 slice lime for garnish
  • a few drops green food coloring optional, to enhance color

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer

Method
 

  1. Chill your cocktail glasses in the freezer so they are nice and cold for serving.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour in the green apple liqueur and vodka.
  3. Add a few drops of green food coloring and a tiny splash of grenadine to the shaker for a vivid, poisoned hue.
  4. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.
  5. Remove your chilled glasses from the freezer and strain the cocktail mixture evenly into each glass, creating a bright green, bubbly surface.
  6. Carefully pour a splash of chilled champagne over the mixture in each glass to create a bubbling, effervescent top.
  7. Garnish each drink with a lime slice on the rim and add a tiny drop of grenadine in the center for a poisoned effect.
  8. Serve immediately while chilled and bubbly, with a mysterious green glow perfect for Halloween.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are chilled before mixing for optimal clarity and sparkle. Adjust grenadine sparingly to maintain the vibrant green color without over-red coloring the drink.
