The Plastered Possum is a creamy, fruity cocktail that combines the herbal sweetness of Galliano with the orange zest of Cointreau, while capturing a tropical essence through the addition of pineapple juice. The melon liqueur offers a vibrant, sweet melon flavor that melds harmoniously with the cream to create a rich and decadent texture.
This cocktail is typically served cold in a cocktail glass and offers a playfully indulgent experience that's reminiscent of a dessert with a tropical twist. The Plastered Possum is often appreciated for its smooth, sweet taste and its balance of citrus and cream.

FAQ's
Can I substitute Melon liqueur in the Plastered Possum cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute Melon liqueur with Midori or any other melon-flavored liqueur if unavailable. The taste might slightly change, but it will still provide that unique melon flavor essential for the cocktail.
What are some garnishing tips for the Plastered Possum?
Considering the fruity and creamy nature of the Plastered Possum, garnishing with a slice of pineapple or a cherry on the rim of the glass would complement its flavors. A mint sprig could also add a refreshing aroma.
What is the best way to serve the Plastered Possum?
The Plastered Possum is best served cold in a cocktail glass. You can chill the glass beforehand to keep the drink colder for a longer duration. Serving it immediately after mixing ensures the freshest taste.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Plastered Possum?
Yes, a non-alcoholic version of the Plastered Possum can be created by substituting Galliano and Cointreau with non-alcoholic herbal and orange-flavored syrups, respectively. Replace melon liqueur with a melon-flavored syrup. This variation maintains the original's flavor profile but without the alcohol.
How does the alcohol content in the Plastered Possum compare to a standard cocktail?
The Plastered Possum has an alcohol content of 11.25%, which is slightly lower than many standard cocktails that typically range from 12% to 40% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes the Plastered Possum a milder option, suitable for those preferring a drink with lower alcohol content.
