The drink pops with its bright green color and fruity flavor. I’ve found it’s a real crowd-pleaser at Halloween parties and honestly, it’s not hard to make at all.

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker: I use this to mix everything up and chill the drink.
  • Strainer: It helps keep ice or pulp out of the glass.
  • Measuring jigger: For getting the right balance of liquor, juice, and syrup.
  • Cocktail glass: Any short or medium glass works, but a goblet is my go-to for that spooky vibe.
  • Plate for rimming: I pour black sanding sugar onto a plate for the rim.
  • Small bowl: This holds simple syrup or lemon juice to help the sugar stick.
  • Long spoon: Good for gently stirring or layering.
  • Ice cubes: I always make sure there’s plenty for chilling.

Ingredients

Sometimes I swap ginger ale for lemon-lime soda if I want a different fizz. Pineapple juice brings that tangy kick, and blue curaçao is what makes the color pop.

Vodka keeps the drink crisp, while orange juice ties everything together. It’s a fun mix.

Notes

If I’m after an even brighter green, I’ll use a touch more blue curaçao, but too much can turn the drink bitter. If I run out of black sanding sugar, green works just as well.

This cocktail is pretty close to the green goblin cocktail, but tweaking the juice or liqueur changes up the color and taste. For less sweetness, I just cut back on the simple syrup or use a drier soda.

For a non-alcoholic version, I skip the vodka and blue curaçao and use a splash of blue sports drink or blue lemonade. The color still looks great, and kids can join in, too.

Fresh lemon or lime juice always makes it taste extra bright—totally worth the extra step.

Tasting Notes

When I take a sip of the Ghoul’s Green Goblet, the first thing that hits me is that electric green color. It’s playful and honestly grabs my attention right away.

The taste is a mix of sweet and sour, with hints of citrus and a fresh, fruity vibe that makes it super easy to drink. I like how the drink feels cool and tingly thanks to all the ice.

Here’s what I notice as I go:

  • Color: Vivid green
  • Aroma: Light citrus and fruit
  • Flavor: Sweet, a little tart, fruity
  • Finish: Clean, a bit tangy

Sometimes there’s a hint of lime or lemon, depending on how I mix it. It’s not too strong, so I never feel like I’m overdoing it.

The sweetness isn’t heavy or syrupy, which is a relief. If you like a little fizz, the soda gives it a nice sparkle and just makes the flavors pop.

The Ghoul’s Green Goblet always leaves me refreshed, with a soft fruity aftertaste that lingers for a bit.

Must Have Ingredients

Substitute

Sometimes I just don’t have every ingredient for the Ghoul’s Green Goblet. So, I end up making a few swaps here and there.

It’s honestly nice to know the drink still works, even if my kitchen’s a bit bare. Improvising keeps it fun.

Ingredients

  • Lime soda: If I’m out of lime soda, I’ll grab lemon-lime instead. It’s close enough for me.
  • Green food coloring: No green? I just mix blue and yellow food coloring—works in a pinch.
  • Vodka: Sometimes I’ll use white rum or gin. Both give it a different twist, but I don’t mind.
  • Sour apple liqueur: If I’m missing that, Midori or any melon liqueur changes up the flavor, but it’s still fruity and good.

Equipment

Instructions

  • Pour the soda and spirits into your shaker.
  • Add two drops of green coloring (or just use your blue and yellow mix).
  • Shake everything with ice.
  • Strain it into a goblet or whatever glass you’ve got handy.

Mixology, for me, is mostly about having fun and rolling with what I’ve got. Swapping ingredients keeps things from getting boring.
