How to Make Easy Beetlejuice Cocktail
Ingredients:
- 1 ounce vodka (or substitute with white rum, tequila, or gin)
- 1 ounce Midori melon liqueur (or another green liqueur like sour apple schnapps)
- ½ ounce blue curacao (or another blue liqueur like Hpnotiq)
- ½ ounce fresh lime juice (or lemon juice or sour mix)
- 3 ounces pineapple juice
- Ice cubes
- 1 wedge fresh lemon or lime
- 1 tablespoon black salt or black sanding sugar (I use salt)
Directions:
- Start by preparing your glasses. Run a lemon or lime wedge around the rim of each glass. Then, dip the rims into a shallow bowl or plate filled with black salt or sanding sugar until the rims are coated.
- Fill your glasses with ice. You can use crushed ice or ice cubes, depending on your preference.
- In a cocktail shaker (or any container with a lid), mix together the vodka, Midori, pineapple juice, lime juice, and blue curacao. Add a couple of ice cubes to the shaker.
- Shake the mixture well until it is chilled and slightly frothy, about 20 to 30 seconds.
- Strain the cocktail into your prepared glasses. If you want a different color, add more Midori for green, more pineapple juice for yellow, or more blue curacao for blue shades.
- For a final touch, use a black and white straw and add any other garnishes you like. Enjoy your cocktail!
