Ghoul’s Green Elixir

Description

Absinthe, “The Green Fairy,” was banned in many countries for myths about hallucinations. The Ghoul’s Green Elixir exaggerates the lore, mixing absinthe, apple schnapps, and lime into a glowing green potion that looks like it came from an apothecary shelf.

Ingredients

  • 30 ml Absinthe
  • 30 ml Sour Apple Schnapps
  • 20 ml lime juice
  • 10 ml Sugar syrup
  • 1 piece Lime Wheel

Instructions

  1. Add the absinthe, apple schnapps, lime juice, and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake firmly for around 12 seconds to combine.
  3. Fine strain into a chilled crystal coupe glass.
  4. Garnish with a fresh lime wheel on the rim.
  5. Serve immediately to showcase its vibrant green glow.
