Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.6 / 5
The Orange Iceman is a layered shot cocktail that presents a unique blend of flavors. It combines the spiciness of Captain Morgan's Spiced rum with the sweet and tangy notes of Cointreau, a citrus-flavored triple sec liqueur. The addition of cola adds a familiar fizzy sweetness that complements the spirit-forward nature of the shot. Served in a shot glass, this drink is typically enjoyed in a single sip, offering a burst of contrasting yet harmonious flavors that mark it as a distinct and adventurous choice for those seeking a quick and potent cocktail experience.
