Awamawama Ding DongCocktail recipe
Rating
The Awamawama Ding Dong is a unique and eclectic cocktail that combines the crisp, clean taste of vodka with the rich warmth of dark rum, brightened by a splash of sharp lemon juice. This mixture is then topped with the malty, effervescent notes of lager, creating a layered flavor profile that's unusual in the cocktail world.
Typically served in a highball glass, which allows for generous ice and the full volume of the drink, the Awamawama Ding Dong presents a refreshing option with a kick, designed to be stirred, not shaken, to maintain its clarity and carbonation. The creative name hints at the playful and unconventional nature of this beverage, marking it as a conversation piece for those adventurous enough to give it a try.
