The Green Lantern
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.55 / 5
The Green Lantern is a refreshing cocktail that takes a highball glass as its canvas. It skillfully blends the richness of brandy with the sharpness of tequila and the herbal notes of red vermouth. A splash of lime cordial adds a citrusy twist to the drink, while tonic water contributes a pleasant effervescence, diluting the strong flavors to create a balanced and invigorating beverage. The flavor profile marries the complexities of the spirits with the zesty lime and the quinine bitterness of the tonic, making The Green Lantern a unique and vibrant choice for those who enjoy a bold and aromatic cocktail experience.
