If you love a fun, refreshing cocktail with a little bit of a superhero vibe, the Green Lantern Cocktail is for you!
It’s bright green, sweet, a little citrusy, and super easy to make.
Perfect for parties, movie nights, or just when you want a drink that looks as good as it tastes.
Let’s mix one up!
What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz melon liqueur (Midori)
- ½ oz fresh lime juice
- ½ oz triple sec

Pro Tips
✅ Chill everything! A cold glass and ingredients make a smoother cocktail.
✅ Shake it well! The better you mix, the more balanced the flavors will be.
✅ Adjust the sweetness. If you like it less sweet, use soda water instead of lemon-lime soda.
✅ Make a big batch. This is a great party drink—mix a pitcher and serve over ice!
Substitutions & Variations
🍏 No Midori? Use another melon liqueur or swap for apple schnapps for a different twist.
