Ingredients
  

  • 1 oz green apple Smirnoff vodka - or any green apple vodka
  • 1 ½ oz Sour Apple Schnapps
  • 2-4 oz Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry
  • 2-4 Maraschino cherries
  • Ice - to fill the glass about halfway or to your preference

Equipment

  • Tall sundae glass or milkshake glass
  • Shot glass or small measuring cup
  • Long handled spoon or drink stirrer
  • Fun straws

Method
 

  1. Fill your tall sundae style glass about halfway with ice.
  2. Pour in the green apple vodka.
    Add the Sour Apple Schnapps straight over the ice and vodka. You will see the drink turn that bright Grinch green in the glass.
  3. Pour in 2 to 4 ounces of Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry, adjusting to your taste or the size of your glass.
    Give everything a gentle stir so the flavours mingle.
  4. Pop in a green straw if you have one.
    Carefully drop 2 to 4 maraschino cherries down the side of the glass so they settle and “climb” around the straw.
  5. Serve right away while it is cold and fizzy and enjoy how the cherries slowly sweeten the last few sips at the bottom!

Notes

  • The Sour Apple Schnapps is what gives this drink its strong sour apple punch. If you prefer a milder flavour, reduce it slightly and add a splash more soda.
  • Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry adds a lovely festive note, but regular lemon lime soda with a splash of cranberry juice also works if that is what you have on hand.
  • Stacking the cherries at the bottom of a tall sundae glass gives the best “Grinch’s heart growing” effect, but any tall glass will be fine.
  • A green straw or reusable stirrer makes the drink feel extra playful and on theme.
 

Storage

This cocktail is best built and enjoyed right away. The fizz and colour are at their prettiest when freshly poured.
