There are a couple of different recipes called Jade cocktails. For maximum enjoyment, you will need both of them.
The first one reminds me of a Mojito.
Jade #1
- 2 ounces white rum
- 1/4 ounce green creme de menthe
- 1/2 ounce Cointreau
- 1/2 ounce lime juice
Shake everything up with ice and strain it into a martini glass.
Jade #2
- 1/2 ounce Midori
- 1/2 ounce blue Curacao
- 1/2 ounce lime juice
- dash of Angostura bitters
- champagne
Put the Midori, Curacao, lime juice and Angostura bitters into a shaker and shake vigorously with ice until the shaker’s very frosty on the outside. Strain that into a chilled flute glass. Top it off with chilled champagne and garnish with a slice of lime.
There are actually tons of variations on this recipe – I picked the two most different from each other. It seems you can put pretty much anything green together and call it a Jade. But I think the first recipe is best.
