Dingo Cocktail

Pro tips

• Chill your glass with ice before pouring to keep the cocktail cold longer.
• Pour grenadine last and slowly for a gradient effect, or stir through for even color distribution.
• Use fresh orange juice when possible instead of concentrate for brighter flavor.
• Shake ingredients vigorously with ice for 10–15 seconds to properly chill and dilute.

Substitutions

• Sour mix → fresh lemon juice + simple syrup (1:1 ratio by volume, fresher taste)
• Southern Comfort → peach schnapps (similar sweetness, slightly different flavor)
• Amaretto → almond liqueur alternative (Disaronno or generic, same profile)

Can I make a Dingo cocktail without sour mix?

Yes, substitute sour mix with 1 oz fresh lemon juice and 0.5 oz simple syrup for a fresher taste.

What type of rum works best for a Dingo cocktail?

Light or white rum is traditional; use a quality brand for smoother flavor.

Should the Dingo be shaken or stirred?

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a glass; the grenadine can be poured last for layering effect.

What glass should I use for a Dingo cocktail?

Serve in a rocks glass or highball glass filled with ice.
