Cocktail Colin says:
The Squashed Frog is unabashedly fun and vibrant, melding creamy Advocaat with the bright tones of melon liqueur and a sweet hit of grenadine. This recipe nails the visual appeal and offers a playful, creamy sweetness that is as crowd-pleasing as its name is memorable.

FAQ's
What does Advocaat taste like, and how does it affect the flavor of the Squashed Frog cocktail?
Advocaat is a rich and creamy liqueur made from eggs, sugar, and brandy. It has a smooth, custard-like flavor with subtle hints of vanilla and brandy. In the Squashed Frog cocktail, Advocaat adds a creamy texture and a rich, eggy sweetness that balances well with the fruity sweetness of the melon liqueur and the tartness of the grenadine.
Given its unique name, what's the ideal occasion for serving the Squashed Frog cocktail?
The Squashed Frog cocktail, with its visually striking layers and rich, sweet flavors, is perfect for Halloween parties or any themed events that call for fun and unusual drinks. Its playful name and vibrant color make it a memorable choice for celebrations or as a novelty shot on a night out with friends.
How do you achieve the layered effect seen in the Squashed Frog cocktail?
To achieve the layered effect in a Squashed Frog cocktail, you need to carefully pour each ingredient over the back of a spoon or use a pourer with a slow, steady hand. Start with the grenadine, followed by the Advocaat, and finally the melon liqueur. Each layer should be poured slowly to ensure they don't mix, creating a distinct layered appearance.
How does the alcohol content of the Squashed Frog compare to other popular shots?
With an alcohol content of approximately 12.5%, the Squashed Frog is relatively mild compared to other popular shots like the Tequila shot (around 40%) or a Jägerbomb (roughly 23% when mixed). This makes the Squashed Frog a more approachable option for those looking for a less intense alcoholic experience in a shot glass.
Can I substitute any ingredients in the Squashed Frog for a different flavor profile?
Yes, you can customize the Squashed Frog to suit your taste preferences. For a less sweet version, consider substituting the melon liqueur with a citrus-flavored liqueur like Cointreau. For a creamier texture, you could try adding a splash of heavy cream or a different creamy liqueur instead of one of the original ingredients. Experimenting carefully can create a customized cocktail that still honors the spirit of the original Squashed Frog.
