The Flying Kangaroo is a creamy tropical concoction where the alcohol flavor gets lots in the mixers. The dominant flavors are coconut and pineapple, but the touch of orange juice and herbal liqueur give it a special touch.
This drink is a great addition to your repertoire of tropical cocktails. It’s a little more complex than most, but there’s nothing off-putting or stand-offish about this drink.

My bar doesn’t stock Galliano. I’m wondering if I could substitute with Jagermeister….?
I think that would work! Let us know how it turns out.
I was wondering if you could substitue white rum for coconut rum?
Yeah, that will always work – you’re just losing the coconut flavor.
