💭 What is Frog's Breath?
A Witches Brew cocktail is a sweet, vibrant green cocktail. It's basically a Japanese Slipper cocktail, but with a little club soda on top to give it some fizz.
Green melon liqueur gives this drink a spooky, almost glowing green color. Between that and the dry ice I used in the photos, I could totally envision something like this in a witch's cauldron. My husband also pointed out that it looks like Ecto Cooler.
In terms of flavor, the drink is sweet (but not overly so). I thought that it tasted a little bit like Smarties candies, but in liquid form.
📝 Ingredients
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed, please.
- Orange liqueur: I used triple sec, but you can use whatever clear orange liqueur that you prefer.
- Green melon liqueur: Midori is probably the best known variety, but there are other melon liqueurs out there.
- Club soda: Club soda or a plain sparkling water will do.
🔀 Substitutions or Variations
- Omit the club soda. If you don't use club soda, you'll have a Japanese Slipper cocktail!

❓ Recipe FAQs
Yes! It's safe to put dry ice in a drink, as long as you don't actually drink the dry ice. When using dry ice in drinks, follow these steps to keep yourself safe.
Midori is a lightly sweet, bright green Japanese liqueur that is primarily flavored with Japanese muskmelons. Muskmelons look a bit like honeydew melons, but are much sweeter.
While it is a pretty perfect, spooky drink for Halloween, don't let that keep you from enjoying one year-round!
