Cocktail of the Week: Fruit Tingle

While on holidays in the Caribbean, it became apparent to me that the Fruit Tingle isn't as well known around the world as it is in Australia. I couldn't believe that not everyone had tasted its delicious fruitiness! It gets its name from the fruit tingle candy that its meant to taste like though I have met few people who believe that to be true - doesn't make it any less delicious though!

Glass: Hurricane

Alcoholic Content:
  • 1 Part Vodka
  • 1 Part Blue Curacao
Non-Alcoholic Content:
  • Lemonade (Sprite for the North Americans)
  • Raspberry Cordial
  • Spoonful of ice
Mix It:

Pour the vodka and the blue curacao over the ice and top up with lemonade. Pour a dash of raspberry cordial into the glass down the side so that it sits at the bottom.

Garnish: Serve with a swizzle stick, strawberry, and umbrella.

You can also use grenadine in place of the cordial though it will alter the taste. Also be careful not to be too heavy handed with the cordial or grenadine as too much will overpower the drink.

Keep Smiling,
Jo
