💭 Insider tips: things to know
- ⚡ Want a stronger kick? Swap the Sprite for Mountain Dew. Not only does it amp up the flavor, but it also adds a caffeine jolt, so you’ll be energized and tipsy at the same time—what a combo!
- 🍋 Prefer a less sweet drink? Ditch the sugar overload. Use all club soda instead of Sprite for a crisper, more refreshing sip that still delivers the punch without the extra sweetness. (Because sometimes, we like to pretend we’re being responsible.)
- 🎉 Making this for a crowd? Turn it into a pitcher cocktail! Increase the servings to 20, mix it up in a big pitcher, and let guests serve themselves. Less work for you, more fun for them. Everybody wins!
Basically, this drink is as customizable as it is dangerous. So mix, shake, sip—and try not to start thinking you actually have superpowers. 💚🥃🍀
Marye's Tip o' the day
💪 Shake it like you mean it. Giving this cocktail a good, vigorous shake adds tiny air bubbles that enhance the flavor and make you feel like a professional mixologist. (Bonus: It’s also a great arm workout—because balance.)
🍴🛠️ Must-Have Tools for Mixing Up the Hammered Hulk
Because even superheroes need the right gear!

| Tool | Why You Need It |
|---|---|
| Cocktail Shaker | To mix everything up and get that perfect, slightly frothy, well-blended drink. (Bonus: It makes you look fancy.) |
| Jigger or Shot Glass | Precision matters—unless you’re feeling adventurous, in which case, just pour and pray. |
| Highball Glass or Hurricane Glass | The Hulk deserves a dramatic entrance, and a good glass makes it feel extra special. |
| Bar Spoon | For stirring the pitcher version or pretending you know how to twirl it like a pro. |
| Citrus Juicer | Because squeezing lemons and limes by hand is how we accidentally get cocktail ingredients in our eyes. |
| Ice | Essential for keeping your drink cool and refreshing—unless you prefer it warm (which we will judge you for). |
| Green Sugar (Optional) | If you want to rim the glass for extra flair, because extra is always better. |
| Black Light (Optional, But Awesome) | Midori glows under UV light, so if you want to serve a drink that looks straight out of a comic book, this is your move. |
🔥 Bonus: A designated bartender friend who’s willing to mix drinks while you kick back and enjoy. (Highly recommended.) 💚🥃🍀
🤫 Marye's secret for zhuzhing it up
🍬 Candy rim? Yes, please! – Dip the rim in lime juice, then roll it in green sugar or crushed sour candy. Because if your drink looks like it belongs in a comic book, you’re doing it right.
Basically, zhuzhing up this drink is as easy as making it greener, bolder, and more ridiculous—just like any good St. Patrick’s Day celebration should be. 💚🥃🍀
zhuzh: verb. To make something more interesting or attractive
👩🍳 Let's answer those questions: FAQs
Have other questions? Ask me in the comments!
Sure! Just swap the booze for green Hawaiian punch and the club soda for coconut water! It’ll still be bright green, fruity, and fun—just without the hammered part.
Oh, absolutely. Blend everything with a handful of ice and get yourself a boozy green slushie that’s basically St. Patrick’s Day on vacation.
Let’s just say it’s sneakier than it looks. It tastes like a fun, fruity juice box, but after a couple, you might find yourself attempting Irish jigs or making questionable life choices. Pace yourself, champ.
Basically, this cocktail is fun, festive, and potentially a little dangerous. Drink responsibly—or at least have a solid alibi. 💚🥃🍀
Make this green mixed drink in a pitcher for St. Patrick's Day parties!⏲️ Marye's time saving hacks -
Skip the single-serve shaking and make this a big-batch pitcher cocktail from the start. Just multiply the ingredients by however many drinks you need, stir everything but the carbonated drinks together in a blender and blend for a minute or so (oxygen bubbles!) Pour into a pitcher, add the Sprite (or whatever) and toss in some ice. No shaking, no mess—just grab a glass and pour like the legend you are. (Bonus: You’ll look like the ultimate party host with minimal effort.) 💚🥃🍀
