The Piranha cocktail is a simple alternative to “Vodka and Coke” and though it only adds one more ingredient, it’s more of a drink because it requires just a bit more effort. The ratios are simple, too, so it’s easy to make quickly. Here’s a grown-up-chocolate-Coke, otherwise known as a Piranha.

INGREDIENTS

• 30 ml/ 1 oz. Vodka
• 22,5 ml/ ¾ oz. Crème de cacau (brown)
• 22,5 ml/ ¾ oz. cola

METHOD

1. Combine the Vodka and Crème de cacao in an old fashioned glass half-full with ice.
2. . Stir vigorously.
3. Add the cola.
4. Serve and enjoy.

NOTES

My favourite cocktail with cola is the Fernandito or Fernet con coca (“Fernet and Coke”), which is a long drink of Argentine origin.
