Notes

Here are some recipe notes for the Green Goblet cocktail (vodka and gin versions) that can help enhance your preparation and serving experience:

• Use fresh, high-quality ingredients like freshly squeezed lime juice and fresh herbs (basil or mint) to maximize flavor and aroma.
• For the vodka version, choose a smooth, clean-tasting vodka to let the melon liqueur stand out as the primary flavor.
• For the gin version, a botanical gin will complement the herbal notes from the melon liqueur and fresh herb garnish beautifully.
• Gently muddle the herbs to release essential oils without overdoing it, which can make the herbs bitter.
• Stir the soda in gently to maintain carbonation and a refreshing fizz.
• Serve the cocktail chilled over ice in coupe or highball glasses, depending on your style preference.
• The gummy worm or eyeball candy garnish adds a fun, whimsical touch—ideal for themed parties or Halloween.
• For a lighter option, substitute lemon-lime soda with a diet or soda water variant to reduce sugar and calories.
• These cocktails are designed to be quick to prepare (about 5 minutes) and visually striking with their vibrant green color.
• Adjust sweetness by varying the quantity of melon liqueur or soda to suit your taste.
