How to Make a Fruit Tingle Cocktail
Follow along with our step-by-step instructions and photos to make the best fruit tingle cocktail recipe at home. We also packed in tips and tricks to help you get it just right. Let’s get started!
FIRST STEP: Fill your cocktail glass with ice. We served the fruit tingle in a hurricane glass, but a stemless or stemmed wine glass would also work. A highball glass would also show off the colorful layers nicely.
SECOND STEP: Add the vodka, blue Curaçao, and lemonade to the glass. Stir.
THIRD STEP: Drizzle the raspberry cordial over the top; you can pour it over the back of a spoon to direct it down the inside of the glass if you’d like. The raspberry cordial will sink to the bottom, creating a layered effect.
FOURTH STEP: Garnish with fruit.
