Frangelina
Frangelina is a sweet, elegant and strong spiced rum cocktail.
Whether you admire her or think otherwise, you can’t deny Angelina Jolie is committed to her children. Her dedication and an opportunity to cornily combine her name with a hazelnut liqueur caused us to dedicate this cocktail to a standout mother.
The combination of the spiced rum and Frangelico provides a smooth and exotic taste sensation for your pallet. It is so yum you won’t believe it. Then you’ll need another to make sure. And maybe even a third.
Recipients: Lovers of sweet aroma. Not for those prone to sculling drinks. Frangelina is deceptively strong.
Type: Shaken
EQUIPMENT
Shaker
Shallow cocktail glass
INGREDIENTS
30ml Frangelico or other hazelnut liqueur
30ml spiced rum
10ml lime cordial
5ml lime juice
Ice
METHOD
Pour Frangelico, spiced rum, lime cordial and lime juice into your shaker along with a scoop of ice.
Shake heaps. I stop shaking when the outside of the shaker is very frosty.
Strain the liquid from your shaker into your shallow cocktail glass.
ADJUST
Add 15-30ml ginger ale, soda or lemonade if you find it too strong.
SERVE
Serve it in the glass you made it in.
Garnish with a lime slice, if you like. We don’t bother, most of the time. Hahaha!
During these test photos, the lovely Helen Connolly created peel flowers for Frangelina. Thanks, Helen! We look forward to more inspired garnishes for future recipes.
ANECDOTE
I made a pack of these ingredients for our son’s Year Five teacher in appreciation of her care. It was well received.
