Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 oz green apple liqueur main flavor component
• 1 oz vodka adds alcohol content and clarity
• 1/2 oz lime juice brightens flavor
• 1 tsp simple syrup to balance acidity
• small dry ice for bubbling effect, optional
• edible foam edible foam or bubble solution for presentation effect

Equipment

Method

 

1. Add the green apple liqueur, vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled and blended to a smooth, icy consistency.
2. Strain the mixture into a chilled glass, tilting it slightly to create an elegant, layered appearance.
3. If using dry ice, carefully add a small piece into the cocktail using tongs—this will create a bubbling, fog-like effect. Be sure to handle dry ice with caution and ensure it doesn’t come into direct contact with skin.
4. Alternatively, top the cocktail with a dollop of edible foam or bubble solution for a spooky, shimmering surface that resembles a poisoned potion.
5. Optionally, place the glass on a coaster or plate to catch any bubbling overflow and enhance the presentation.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy the mysterious, bubbling green elixir with its glossy, enchanting appearance.

Notes

Caution with dry ice—ensure it’s fully sublimated before drinking and handle with care. Edible foam can be prepared using specialty solutions or purchased from baking supply stores for a dramatic effect.
