Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.93 / 5
The Jade cocktail is a vibrant and refreshing concoction that captures the eye with its bright green hue, primarily derived from the melon liqueur. The combination of the melon liqueur with vodka creates a sweet and slightly fruity base, while the addition of fresh mint leaves brings a burst of coolness, adding an aromatic and herbal dimension to the drink. The Jade is typically served in a sugar-rimmed cocktail glass, which not only adds a touch of elegance but also a granular sweetness that complements the drink's crisp and summery flavors. This cocktail is a charming choice for those who enjoy a sweet, melon-forward beverage with an invigorating minty finish.

4/5

The Jade is a bright, emerald sip that enchants with its sweet melon and crisp vodka duo, cooled by mint's aromatic embrace. Served in a sugar-rimmed cocktail glass, it offers a sweet refreshment with a touch of herbal freshness.
