Green cocktail to serve at our wedding?

chrish12345

We are hoping to serve a green cocktail at our wedding and was looking for suggestions?

We would be looking for something with the following

1. Not too strong to put some of the guests off
2. Fairly long drink so it can be drank in a 250ml glass
3, Not too expensive to make

Any ideas?

Mojito?

It's made with whole mint leaves so is green but not "green" iykwim.
White rum, sugar, club soda and ice. Lots and lots of ice makes it a nice long drink.

Oh, and mint leaves.

Blue curacao and cider - comes out nice and green (called the Dead Parrot when we 'invented' it)

Try mixing midori with something fizzy...it can be lemonade,or also works really well with a cava/champagne type of drink

You only need a little as its quite a strong liqueur but when diluted has a lovely melon taste and is a subtle green colour.

Something with crème de menthe in would be green too?

Japanese slipper - made with Midori, served (I think) in a martini glass.

When I was at university we used to drink Midori, vodka and soda water which was actually nicer than it sounds! We called it a Surfing Eskimo.

My other suggestions, although they're both quite sweet, would be:

Grasshopper - creme de menthe, white creme de cacao, fresh cream (bit lots of variations on the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grasshopper_%28cocktail%29)
Dirty Girl Scout - vodka, coffee liqueur such as Kahlua, Bailey's, creme de menthe
