Flamingo
Juicy orange and tart grapefruit with tropical passion fruit and a soft almond sweetness. Fresh, fruity and gently sweet.
The Flamingo belongs to the family of shaken fruit mocktails that bars in German-speaking countries put on their menus for guests who wanted more than orange juice without alcohol. The recipe follows the same logic as a tropical cocktail: a juice base, a sour element, and syrups for sweetness and aroma.
There is no known creator, and several different drinks are sold under the name. What they share is the pink colour and a fruity, easy-drinking profile. This version uses plenty of juice so that it fills a highball glass and the syrups do not dominate.
