How Do You Make A Mombasa Cocktail?
A Mombasa cocktail is a fruity cocktail that’s easy to make and drink. Combining ingredients of old time cocktails and ingredients that have only become popular in the latter half of the 20th century, the Mombasa cocktail is a sweet, gentle drink that drinkers who don’t really like the taste of alcohol will appreciate. This recipe makes one Mombasa, served straight up, but the drink works very well when served in a highball glass with ice and club soda as well. Fill a cocktail shaker half-full with crushed ice. Add 1 1/2 oz. vanilla vodka, 1/2 oz. each of orange juice and raspberry nectar, and 1/4 oz. each of lemon juice and green chartreuse to the cocktail shaker. Cover the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds. Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish the finished cocktail with a fresh lemon wedge and serve right away.
