Meet the Electric Apple Island Punch: it’s sweet, citrusy, and full of tropical energy, with a green glow that catches the eye and a smooth-yet-bold kick that sneaks up in the best way.

What if I don’t have Midori?
Use another melon-flavored liqueur or even green apple schnapps for a similar effect.
Can I make this as a punch for a group?
