Ingredients
Ingredients
To prepare a large batch of Swamp Frog Cocktail, you will need:
- 1 cup vodka (your choice of brand)
- 1 cup Malibu coconut rum
- 1 cup Midori (melon liqueur)
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- Lime slices (for garnish)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the vodka, Malibu coconut rum, and Midori melon liqueur. Stir well to ensure that all three liquors blend smoothly together, creating a rich and fruity foundation for the cocktail.
Step 2: Add Pineapple Juice
Pour in 2 cups of pineapple juice, which not only enhances the drink’s tropical flair but also balances out the strong liquor flavors with its natural sweetness and tanginess.
Step 3: Fill with Ice and Lemon-Lime Soda
Add a generous amount of ice cubes to the pitcher. Then, slowly pour in 2 cups of lemon-lime soda to introduce a fizzy, refreshing touch. Stir gently to blend the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
For the finishing touch, slice a lime into thin rounds and float them on top of the drink. This adds a zesty aroma and a beautiful visual contrast to the vivid green cocktail.
Pour into individual glasses filled with ice, and serve immediately. Cheers to a fun-filled gathering!
Notes
- Midori melon liqueur is what gives the Swamp Frog Cocktail its signature green color. If you don’t have Midori, you can substitute it with another melon-flavored liqueur.
- Use fresh pineapple juice for the best flavor, but canned pineapple juice also works well.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by playing around with the pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda ratios.
- Serve in a large punch bowl if you’re making this for a big party, and provide a ladle so guests can serve themselves.
