Angry Helen
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.66 / 5
The Angry Helen is a vibrant and tangy cocktail, featuring a tart and crisp blend of citrus and apple flavors. Made with a base of apple vodka and enhanced with the zesty sweetness of lime cordial, the drink is topped with lemonade, which lends a refreshing fizz and makes it a pleasantly effervescent choice for a hot day. The addition of a lemon rub around the rim of the glass introduces a bright aromatic element, making it a zingy concoction served in a lowball glass that promises to please those who enjoy a sour kick in their beverages.
