UV Apple Green Vodka
750 ml, 30% ABV, $12.99
From Minnesota, this spirit is made with
Midwestern corn and purified water from
deep local aquifers. UV Apple is quadruple-distilled
before being filtered through
purified carbon. It's flavored naturally with
Granny Smith apples for a taste that's sweet
and sour with a touch of heat.
If you don't have any green spirits on
hand, not to worry. Try mixing a drink such
as the Incredible Hulk, a combination of
yellow cognac and Hpnotiq, a blue-tinged
liqueur. Blended together, the two drinks
create a memorable green cocktail.
Another option is to add fresh, natural
ingredients to your beverage. Consider
using mint, lime, cucumber, celery, green
apples, kiwi, basil or any number of fruits,
vegetables and herbs. Blending one or more
of these items into your cocktail, muddling
them, or using them as a garnish, will add
a masterful color to your beverage.
Golf has inspired a number of mixed
drinks, named after standout players, golf
scores and other links-related items. Here
are a few of the most well-known.
