I remember loving fruit tingle lollies as a kid. It has been a while since I shopped for lollies, do they even exist any more? They were in a one size suits all tube back in the day and I could demolish the lot in a few seconds flat. They made your nose tingle and were all fizzy in your mouth.
Every summer (Christmas time in Australia) we like to add a few new mocktails/cocktails to our growing collection and although I am not a drinker, I had heard about the Fruit Tingle cocktail and was intrigued. So our resident mixologist got onto it and here we are.
You will love a fruit tingle because it is so easy to make, it is refreshing, sweet and a little bit naughty! Plus it is very pretty.
Traditionally, a fruit tingle cocktail is made in a highball glass filled with ice cubes. Vodka, Blue Curacao and lemonade are added to the ice. To finish, a splash of red cordial is added, which turns the blue cocktail into shades of blue and purple. A little like the trick of adding lemon juice to butterfly pea tea. Which turns the gorgeous blue to lavender colour.
The glasses are then garnished with a maraschino cherry and a wedge of fresh pineapple.
I am fresh out of highball glasses! So this had to do. We also think that using our Raspberry Coulis is way better than using a purchased raspberry cordial. But feel free to go with either.
Chin chin....blue lips all round!
