History

A 1980-90s cocktail of unknown origin.

Review

You may recall Hong Kong Phooey, the 1970s Hanna-Barbera animated children's TV series featuring the mild-mannered janitor Penry and his superhero alter ego. This party cocktail is a little better than Penry's kung fu but deadly all the same.

Variations/similar cocktails

'Reloaded' with champagne in place of lemonade

Really nice even without soda, or unsweetened soda instead.

As I was born in Hong Kong, I'd love to know the origin or history of this drink please.

It's one of the older cocktails on my database and sadly I didn't record where I came across it (in the early to mid-1990s).
