Prepare for close encounters of the delicious kind! This otherworldly Green Alien Cocktail is an easy Halloween drink with plenty of fruity flavor. Midori gives it that unmistakable alien-green hue, while green apple vodka, rum, and pineapple juice make it sweet and slightly tart.

Best of all, there are no complicated cocktail tricks required. Just pour, stir, and garnish.
