Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.54 / 5
The Eddy Delight cocktail is a refreshing and fruity concoction that perfectly balances the tartness of citrus with the sweetness of blackcurrant. With its vibrant orange and purple colors, this cocktail is visually appealing and offers a burst of flavors on the palate. Its main ingredients include 120ml of orange juice, 10ml of lemon juice, 60ml of gin, and 30ml of blackcurrant cordial. The citrus juices provide a zesty and tangy base, while the gin adds a subtle botanical note. The blackcurrant cordial brings a touch of sweetness and a deep berry flavor to the cocktail. This combination of ingredients creates a well-rounded and summery profile, making the Eddy Delight a perfect choice for a sunny afternoon or a night out.
