Everglades Everclear Cooler Cocktail Recipe
Introducing the Everglades Everclear Cooler – a potent and refreshing cocktail that will transport you straight to the heart of the Florida Everglades. This vibrant green concoction is a must-try for anyone who loves a strong, flavorful drink with a touch of adventure.
To craft this swampy delight, you’ll need to gather a few key ingredients: Everclear (for that extra kick), vodka, Sour Apple Pucker (for the signature sour apple flavor), concentrated lime mixer (to add a zesty citrus punch), and Mountain Dew (for a fizzy, sweet finish).
Start by pouring the entire bottle of Everclear into a large pitcher or gallon jug, followed by the vodka. These spirits will give your Elixir its powerful base, so handle with care. Next, add the Sour Apple Pucker, which will not only contribute to the tantalizing apple flavor but also lend the drink its mesmerizing green hue.
To balance the sweetness, pour in the concentrated lime mixer. This zesty ingredient will add a refreshing citrus note that perfectly complements the other flavors. Finally, top off your concoction with Mountain Dew, which will provide a bubbly, sweet finish that ties everything together.
Give your Everglades Elixir a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well-incorporated, and serve it over ice in your favorite cocktail glasses. For an extra touch of fun, garnish with lime slices or apple wedges.
If you prefer a less sweet drink, you can adjust the amount of Mountain Dew or add some club soda to taste. Additionally, for a more vibrant color, consider adding a few drops of green food coloring.
One of the best things about this cocktail is that it’s perfect for large gatherings. Serve it in a punch bowl with a ladle for easy access, and use fun, themed glasses or mason jars to add a playful touch. And remember, while this Elixir is undoubtedly delicious, it’s also potent, so remind your guests to enjoy it responsibly.
To save time when making the Everglades Everclear Elixir, consider chilling all the ingredients before mixing. This way, your cocktail will be cool and refreshing right from the start, and you won’t have to wait for it to chill after mixing.
