PROS

The Green Spider cocktail is a refreshing and easy-to-make drink that is perfect for any occasion.

It is a great choice for a summer cocktail, and the bright green color makes it visually appealing.

CONS

Creme de menthe can be a polarizing flavor, and some may find the green color of the drink off-putting.

It is also a relatively strong cocktail, so it should be enjoyed in moderation.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While alcohol is not particularly healthy, creme de menthe has been used for medicinal purposes in the past, particularly as a digestive aid.
However, the small amount used in this cocktail is likely not enough to have any significant health benefits.
