What’s in a Witches Brew?
The Witches Brew is a light, refreshing cocktail topped off with a bubbly fizz. Honestly, if you do it right, your spooky guests will think they’re drinking Gatorade. Which may or may not be a ghoul thing.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 oz Midori Melon Liqueur: Provides the signature green hue and a “melon" flavor.
- 1 oz Vodka or Gin: Adds a smooth kick; choose gin for botanical notes or vodka for a cleaner taste.
- 1 oz Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed for optimal flavor.
- 1 oz Simple Syrup: Balances the tartness with a touch of sweet; it is Halloween after all.
- ½ oz Lemon Juice: Adds some sour citrus.
- Soda Water: Top it off with soda water.
- Ice: For serving.
- Garnish: Lime slice, lemon twist, or Halloween-themed candies like gummy worms. Everyone loves gummy worms
