The Ginger Australian
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.81 / 5
The Ginger Australian is a tropical and fruity cocktail that combines a refreshing mix of vodka, white rum, and a trio of juices—pineapple, orange, and lemonade—with a splash of grenadine for a hint of sweetness and a vibrant color. Its name suggests an adventurous and bold flavor profile, which is underscored by the zesty and spicy note implied by "ginger," though the cocktail doesn't actually contain ginger. Typically served in a highball glass, this drink offers a taste of a sunny paradise and is ideal for those who appreciate a punchy, citrus-forward beverage with an underlying complexity from the combination of spirits.
