The Emerald Envy is a visually striking cocktail with its vibrant green hue, courtesy of crème de menthe, a mint-flavored liqueur that also imparts a refreshing minty flavor. This cocktail balances the sharpness of vodka with the sweetness of lemonade to create a revitalizing and easy-to-sip beverage.
Served in a highball glass, it's a simple yet attractive drink for those who enjoy a mint-forward flavor profile with a citrus twist. The Emerald Envy is typically enjoyed as a cold drink, making it a pleasant choice for warm-weather occasions or as a festive addition to themed parties where its color and brightness can be showcased.
