Wicked Witch Cocktail
“The Wicked Witch Cocktail is as safe as anything else a witch would offer you to drink…”
There are bad ideas, and then there are bad ideas that happen to taste good. This is the latter.
The Wicked Witch is a glass full of contradictions—sweet but biting, inviting but deeply untrustworthy. It lures you in with Midori’s eerie green glow, practically begging you to believe nothing sinister lurks beneath the surface. But make no mistake—this isn’t some playful little potion. It has a mean streak.
The trick is in the layering. Grenadine and blue curaçao combine at the base to create a black abyss, the kind of murky depth you find in old wells and the bottom of bad decisions. Over the top, vodka and Midori bring a deceptive brightness, as if trying to convince you that drinking something that looks like an alchemist’s failed experiment is perfectly reasonable.
It starts off harmless enough—melon and citrus, light and refreshing. But the deeper you go, the more things start to shift. By the time you reach the bottom, the drink has morphed into something darker, heavier, and vaguely accusatory. And by then, it’s too late.
This recipe was passed to us by someone who claimed it was safe but refused to drink it herself.
Do what you will with that information.
