Green Apple Slushy Mocktail
A refreshing mocktail in time for St. Patrick’s Day, or anytime of year!
I created this specifically for a St. Patrick’s Day dinner for my daughter-in-law who was expecting. For the Irish in me, I added two ounces of light rum and it was still quite refreshing!
Green Apple Sluchy Mocktail
Yield: 4
Created for St. Patrick's Day, it can be enjoyed any time of year. To turn this into an equally refreshing cocktail, simply add two ounces of light rum per serving.
Ingredients
- 2 mini-cups applesauce (like, Mott's)
- 8 oz no sugar added apple juice
- Juice of one fresh lime
- Juice of one fresh lemon
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (or substitute 1 tsp table sugar dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water)
- 3 drops of green food coloring
- 4 cups hard ice
- green apple wedges for garnish (like, Granny Smith)
Instructions
- Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and slushy.
- Pour into four chilled martini glasses.
- Garnish each with a green apple wedge and a green & white striped straw.
Notes
- The term "hard ice" is an old bartender term from the days when a mixologist would use an ice pick on a large block of ice to pick off large chunks of ice to make a cocktail. Today, the term "hard ice" is to distinguish it from "crushed ice" or "shaved ice."
