Let’s make a Wicked themed cocktail called Elphaba’s Green Elixir!

If you don’t know what Wicked is, it’s a Broadway musical where the storyline is an adaptation of the Wizard of Oz. Wicked focuses more around the background story and friendship of Glinda the good witch of the north and Elfaba the wicked witch of the west.

In celebration of the musical turning into the movie that is coming out soon, I created two cocktails inspired by Elfaba and Glinda

Today’s cocktail is focusing on Elfaba. My main goal for this cocktail was to make it green just like Elfaba’s skin.

This cocktail is basically a pina colada riff with additional flavors of matcha and cucumber.

Elphaba’s Green Elixir is wickedly good so let’s learn how to make it!

Here’s my Glinda themed cocktail!
