Mouldy Green Line
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.97 / 5
The Mouldy Green Line cocktail is a vibrant and potent mix that seems to throw caution to the winds of traditional cocktail crafting. Its unique combination features the anise-flavored Sambuca and the fruity tang of Apple liqueur, paired with the crisp, carbonated zing of Smirnoff Ice and the visual appeal of WKD Blue. The result is a visually striking drink with a strong, sweet, and syrupy flavor profile that may appeal to those in search of a bold and unconventional cocktail experience. The Mouldy Green Line is typically served in a highball glass, indicating its status as a long drink meant to be sipped and savored.

Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

The Mouldy Green Line is a daring experiment in mixology, mixing sweet, syrupy flavors with a sharp anise essence, but it risks overwhelming the palate for some. Its electric color palette may attract adventurous drinkers, though the combination may not be everyone's cup of tea due to its intense sweetness and strong licorice notes from the Sambuca.

FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

How do I properly stir the Mouldy Green Line cocktail to achieve the best flavor?

To properly stir the Mouldy Green Line cocktail, fill your highball glass with ice, add the sambuca, apple liqueur, and WKD blue, then stir gently for about 20 to 30 seconds. This method integrates the ingredients without diluting the drink as much as shaking would. Finally, top up with Smirnoff Ice and give it a final, gentle stir to ensure it's well mixed, maintaining the integrity of its fizzy component.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal way to serve the Mouldy Green Line cocktail?

The Mouldy Green Line cocktail should be served in a highball glass, ideally chilled. Since the drink is cold and stirred, not shaken, it's perfect to serve immediately after stirring to maintain its cold temperature and carbonation from the Smirnoff Ice. A straw can be added for easy drinking, and it's best served without ice to prevent further dilution.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute any ingredients in the Mouldy Green Line if I don't have them?

Yes, you can substitute ingredients in the Mouldy Green Line cocktail for similar ones if necessary. If you don't have apple liqueur, you can use another fruit-flavored liqueur, though this will change the flavor profile. If WKD blue is not available, any fruit-flavored blue liqueur or soda can work as a substitute, but be mindful of the sweetness and alcohol content. Lastly, if Smirnoff Ice isn't available, another citrus-flavored or clear soda can be used as a top-up.

Alcohol content comparison icon

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

The Mouldy Green Line has an alcohol content of 16.55%, positioning it in the moderate range compared to other cocktails. It's stronger than light cocktails like the classic Mojito (around 10% alcohol by volume) but less potent than high-alcohol content drinks such as a Long Island Iced Tea (around 22% alcohol by volume). This makes it a suitable choice for those looking for a moderately strong drink.

Ingredient specifics icon

What gives the Mouldy Green Line its distinctive green color?

The distinctive green color of the Mouldy Green Line cocktail is mainly contributed by the WKD blue and the apple liqueur. The blue color of WKD, when mixed with the yellowish hue of the apple liqueur, creates a green tint. The intensity of the green color can vary depending on the proportions and specific brands of the ingredients used.
