The Florida is an alcohol-free classic that already appears in old bar books. Fresh citrus notes from orange and lemon meet the spicy depth of the Angostura - the result is surprisingly grown-up and anything but boring. A mocktail with style.
Instructions
- Add orange juice, lemon juice and sugar syrup to a shaker with ice.
- Shake vigorously.
- Strain into a tumbler filled with ice.
- Season with two dashes of Angostura.
- Garnish with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry.
Garnish: An orange slice and a cocktail cherry
Pro tip: The few dashes of Angostura are the secret - they give the sweet juice cocktail a grown-up, spicy depth and lift it beyond a simple lemonade.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Florida cocktail really contain no alcohol?
The Florida is a classic alcohol-free cocktail. The only alcohol comes from the few dashes of Angostura, which are negligible in flavour.
What is the Angostura for in the Florida?
Angostura is a herbal bitter that gives the fruity-sweet drink spicy depth and complexity without making it alcoholic.
Can I make the Florida completely without Angostura?
Yes, then it tastes fruitier and milder. With Angostura, however, it seems more balanced and less sweet.
