Why You’ll Love This Drink
Ingredients You’ll Need for the Ghostbusters Drink:
Ingredient Notes:
- Vodka. An appropriate brand would be Dan Aykroyd’s Crystal Head Vodka, but any Vodka will do. Omit this if you are making a non-alcoholic version.
- Lemonade. Use something with real lemon juice, not artificial. My favorite brand is Simply Lemonade.
- Tonic Water. The bitter-sweet flavor helps to balance this drink.
- Green & Yellow Food Coloring. This needs to be liquid, not gel so it mixes easily into the drink.
- Mini Donuts. This is of course an optional garnish, but it adds visual eye candy and guests will love the treat.
Tools You’ll Need
How to Make This Ghostbusters Drink:
Step 1: Fill your glass with ice.
Step 2: Pour in the Vodka, then Lemonade, and then top off with Tonic Water.
Step 3: Add one drop of green and one drop of yellow food coloring on top.
Step 4: Gently stir the top of the drink to blend the colors. This will create the hombre green fade effect.
