Recipe Tips
- Green apple juice gives a more vivid green color than regular apple juice.
- For an even greener color, add a small handful of fresh spinach to the blender — it won't affect the flavor.
- Yellow sugar can be made by mixing white sugar with a drop of yellow food coloring.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: For game day, pre-batch the base in a team-color pitcher and keep any soda in a cooler. Let guests add their own garnish.
Easy swaps: Use a fruit with the same team-color effect when the named fruit is unavailable. Use plain soda water to reduce sweetness without losing the game-day look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare this before the first pitch?
Yes. Prep the base and garnishes ahead, then add ice and bubbles right before serving.
How do I preserve the team colors?
Use clear or light mixers and layer or garnish just before serving.
