Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.84 / 5
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.
