Tasting Notes
The Ghostbuster Cocktail is a treat for your taste buds! 🍹
When I first take a sip, the creamy texture comes through immediately. It’s smooth and rich, thanks to the cream liqueur.
The green color is eye-catching and fun. The lime adds a zesty kick that’s refreshing but not overpowering.
Here’s what I noticed about the taste:
- Sweetness: Perfect balance, not too sugary.
- Citrus: Light and bright, lifts the creaminess.
- Finish: Leaves a nice, mellow aftertaste. No bitterness here!
I love how the flavors meld together. The cream and citrus pair nicely, making each sip enjoyable. 😋

Substitute
Making a Ghostbuster Cocktail and can’t find all the ingredients? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Here are some great substitutes to keep that creamy, green goodness flowing:
- Midori Melon Liqueur: If you don’t have Midori, use melon schnapps for a similar fruity taste.
- Baileys Irish Cream: No Baileys? Try using Kahlua or Amaretto for a delicious twist.
- Vodka: Any clear spirit like white rum or gin can be used if you’re out of vodka.
For a non-alcoholic version:
- Replace Midori with melon juice.
- Swap Baileys with Irish Cream coffee creamer.
- Use plain or sparkling water instead of vodka.
