Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.67 / 5
The Pancake cocktail offers a whimsical take on the breakfast favorite's flavors, served in a sugared-rim shot glass to evoke that sweet and savory delight. The key ingredient, Frangelico, imparts the nutty essence of hazelnuts, which complements the zesty citrus notes contributed by both the orange liqueur and lemon. This partnership creates a rich and aromatic profile resembling a freshly made pancake but with a spirited twist. The overall experience is designed to be enjoyed in a quick, flavorful shot, ideally followed by the tangy, palate-cleansing effect of a lemon wedge, making the Pancake cocktail a playful and indulgent treat.
