The general idea and method of preparation is to mix an orange soda (Fanta for example) with a fizzy lemon/lime soda (Such as sprite), A black currant drink to give it the unique red color (Such as Grenadine syrup or Ribena (Preferably the undiluted concentrate) ), Slices of Natural fruits such as Lemon, Lime, Orange and Cucumber to go with the sodas as well as beautify the drink and Finally, dashes of an aromatic bitter (Such as Angostura aromatic bitter or Alomo bitters) which is used to reduce the sweetness of the drink. This usually leaves it with a nice slightly bitter after taste. When preparing for kids, this could be skipped. To make it easier to get ingredients, i used our very own alomo bitters which you can get around every corner on the streets and also ribena and it turned out great. This drink is so easy to make yet very Unique in it’s own way as i’m about to show you in this quick tutorial.
• Prep time:10 mins
• Serves : 3-4
• Misc : Serve Cold
• A bottle of Sprite (50cl)
• Grenadine syrup, Homemade zobo syrup, or Blackcurrant drink (preferably undiluted)
• Aromatic Bitters: Angostura bitters or Alomo bitters (a cap full) – Contains alcohol
•1 medium sized orange
• 1 lemon or lime
• Cucumber
• Ice cubes
The orange, lime, lemon and cucumber are used for garnishing.

Hi Dobby.. Happ new year. Hope you had a great holiday?..

Thanks dobby,please can you give a tutorial on the cocktail drinks that have two colours in a glass.
on my way to the kitchen…….
Am so gonna try this.

Hi chioma, you could use Lime also if lemon isn't available. yeah i agree with you, alomo should be skipped for the kids.
Hi Seunade, Making double layered cocktails is really easy. You just have to know the weight and specific gravity of the liquor you intend working with so you can pour them in order from the heaviest to the lightest. Would do a tutorial on it soon.
Happy New year Angie 🙂
do keep us posted emem 🙂
i'm certain you'd like it. Do let us know how it goes k.
Hi Dobby.. Sorry to deviate from the post; pls can you refer me to where or how I can learn how to wrap moi moi using aluminium foil. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Hi Dobby, do you mean grenadine syrup?
Thanks for correcting the typo Anon….Edited!
To wrap moi moi with an aluminium foil, you cut the foil into rectangles. Fold each rectangle once to give it a square. it should have three openings now. Seal up the two openings on each side by folding leaving the top side open. Once you pour in your moi moi liquid, fold up the opening to seal the content of the foil. Now you can cook your moi moi in a pot without spills.
Thanks Dobs, you no get duplicate!
Am definitely trying this.
