Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.82 / 5
Green Heaven is a refreshing cocktail featuring a blend of vodka and the tropical flavor of Pisang Ambon, a banana-flavored liqueur, topped off with the effervescence of lemon-lime soda. The vibrant green hue of Pisang Ambon infuses the drink with its distinctive color, earning the cocktail its name. The taste profile is a tantalizing balance of citrusy sweetness from the soda and the unique fruity taste of the liqueur, making it a delightful choice for those who enjoy light and fruity beverages. Served in a lowball glass, Green Heaven captures the essence of a leisurely escape into a fruity paradise.

FAQ's

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of Green Heaven compare to other cocktails?

Green Heaven has a relatively low alcohol content at 2.6%. This is lower than many classic and popular cocktails, which tend to range from about 5% for lighter cocktails, up to 20-30% for stronger ones, such as Martinis or Manhattans. Green Heaven is a good choice for those preferring a lighter alcoholic option.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute the Pisang Ambon in Green Heaven with something else?

Yes, if Pisang Ambon is unavailable, you may substitute it with another banana-flavored liqueur or banana syrup for a non-alcoholic version. The taste will vary slightly, but either substitute should maintain the tropical, fruity essence of the cocktail.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve Green Heaven?

Green Heaven is best served cold in a lowball glass. It's stirred, not shaken, and typically topped up with Lemon-Lime soda. Serving it with ice can keep it chilled longer and enhance the refreshment factor. Optionally, you might want to garnish it with a slice of lime or banana to accentuate its tropical theme.

Preparation techniques icon

Why is Green Heaven stirred and not shaken?

Green Heaven is stirred instead of shaken to gently mix the ingredients without over-diluting the cocktail or incorporating too much air. Stirring helps to maintain the clarity and integrity of the lighter components, like Lemon-Lime soda, ensuring a crisp and refreshing texture.

Customization ideas icon

What are some customization ideas for Green Heaven to tailor it to personal taste?

To customize Green Heaven, consider adding fresh fruit slices like lime or banana directly into the glass for extra flavor. You could also experiment with different soda flavors, like grapefruit or cherry, for a twist. If you prefer a sweeter or more potent drink, adjust the ratios of Pisang Ambon or vodka. For a decorative touch, try rimming the glass with sugar or adding a sprig of mint.
