Cheeky Monkey Recipe
Fill a shot glass almost to the top with frangelico, fillup with a dash of Vodka. Place 1 tsp of brown sugar in your hand. Put the sugar in your mouth and wait for it to start dissolving, when it does put the drink in your mouth and swish it around until it mixes with the melted sugar. Tastes exactly like chocolate cake! Some say have a slice of lemon afterwards for lemon meringue pie.... We worked this one out in South Africa, it's very yummy and is taking the world by storm!
Frangelico
Frangelico is a delicious hazelnut liqueur similar to Amaretto, distilled from hazelnuts grown in Piedmont, Italy and is blended with cocoa, coffee and vanilla extracts. It is light and versatile liqueur that can drank on the rocks, as shots, in coffee or in cocktails.
Vodka

You'll find it to be the most popular spirit in drink making because of it's neutral taste and absence of flavour and colour.

Vodka is known to be good for the heart, and if consumed in moderation, can prove to be good for cardiovascular health
Note that these days there are flavoured Vodka available in the market too, and some cocktails do make use of them.Brown Sugar
