Green Goblin
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.52 / 5
The Green Goblin is a vibrant cocktail that combines the clear, clean taste of vodka with the citrus sweetness of orange juice and the complex, slightly bitter and sweet notes of orange liqueur. Its color is not inherently green, despite what the name might suggest, but the name often evokes a sense of playfulness and perhaps a reference to the fictional character from the Spider-Man franchise. This drink is typically served in a cocktail glass that allows its bright and refreshing flavors to shine through. It's a simple mix that tends to be favored for its balance of sweet and strong elements, creating a beverage that's both easy to make and enjoyable to sip.
