Green Horn is the cocktail that immediately grabs your attention with its distinctive green colour, that will definitely pique your interest.

Cocktail ingredient list might not be long, but taste profile is subtle and complex. Starting with sweet, fruity almost candy like notes of Midori. Blanco tequila adding vegetable and agave flavours, helping to balance out the cocktail and tip the scales to the drier direction. Final addition of Suze introduces bitter earthy tones of gentian root, with subtle floral dimension increasing the complexity of the drink.

Original recipe called for green cocktail cherry garnish. However, I did not have one, so I used a simple Fabbri Amarena cherry sunk to the very bottom of the glass. So, when you finishs your cocktail, you will get that sweet satisfying bite whetting your appetite for the next drink. At this point the cocktail should be finished, but I decided to add my very own little touch of lime twist, expanding the aromatic element with a bit of citrusy zestiness.

All in all, Greed Horn has it all, stunning looks and unusually complex taste. A must try for any cocktail lover.
