Green-Eyed Monster

1 oz apple vodka
1 oz triple sec
2 oz sweet and sour mix
4 - 5 oz Mountain Dew citrus soda
2 dashes Blue Curacao liqueur


Special instructions:
A hybrid of Lynchburg Lemonade. The blue curacao is to add color, since without it it's just a strange yellow, and the blue turns the drink to an evil, acidic chartreuse almost-neon green. The blue curacao can be added before shaking if desired, but pouring it onto the near-complete cocktail gives it a nice cascading effect as the liquids mix-it has a slightly sinister look to it as it mixes. Other flavors of vodka can be substituted to taste depending on what you have on hand, it all compliments well with Mountain Dew. The unusual color makes it an interesting one to have in your hand in the bar of club since it catches the eye, and is a festive drink of choice to enjoy when celebrating St. Patrick's Day if you aren't a fan of green beer.Fill glass 2/3 of the way with ice cubes. Pour in vodka, triple sec, and sour mix. Dump contents of glass into shaker and shake until outside of shaker is frosty. Pour into glass with more ice. Fill with Mountain Dew, shake blue curacao on top. Squeeze lime on top of drink, set on rim. Serve with two straws.
