Lazy AfternoonCocktail recipe
Rating
The Lazy Afternoon cocktail is a refreshing and fruity blend that combines the sweet and citrusy notes of orange juice with the effervescence of lemon-lime soda. Whiskey adds a smooth, nuanced depth to the drink, while Pisang Ambon, a banana-flavored liqueur, introduces a tropical twist, making this cocktail reminiscent of carefree, sunny days.
The colorful concoction is typically served in a highball glass, creating a visually appealing and easy-sipping beverage perfect for sipping on a leisurely afternoon. Its flavor profile is a balance of tangy, sweet, and spirited tones, perfect for those who enjoy a cocktail with a hint of exotic flair.
