Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.86 / 5
The Manila Frantini is a tropical-inspired cocktail that combines the creamy sweetness of coconut rum, the nutty richness of Amaretto, and the smooth essence of vanilla vodka. With a base of tangy mango juice and a splash of grenadine for a hint of berry tartness, this cocktail offers a harmonious blend of flavors that evoke the sensation of a seaside getaway. Served in a cocktail glass and often garnished with fresh mango and a maraschino cherry, the Manila Frantini provides both a visual and a taste experience that's reminiscent of the vibrant and exotic spirit of Manila, where the drink draws its inspiration.
