Variations

- Other Colors: Try using blue curaçao instead of Midori for a blue version, or mix both for a wicked, swampy color.
FAQs
Can I make a large batch?
Yes! Multiply the ingredients by the number of servings needed, and stir them together in a punch bowl. Just add the garnishes when serving to keep it festive.
What can I use instead of Midori?
If you don’t have Midori, you can use another melon liqueur or even a green apple liqueur for a slightly different, but equally delicious, flavor.
Can I rim the glass with another color of sugar?
Absolutely! Black sugar adds a spooky touch, but green, orange, or purple sugar would also work well to match the Halloween theme.
The Green Beetlejuice Cocktail is the ultimate Halloween drink for those who love a mix of fun, fruity flavors, and a dash of spooky vibes!
