Friday Happy Hour: Space Cocktail

I have no idea what makes this a "space" cocktail. It has gin, frangelico, and lemon juice, but I don't really see anything space age or astronomical or sky-oriented about it. Maybe it tastes like space? Well, if something tastes like space to you maybe you're taking something a little stronger than frangelico.

The recipe is from 1001 Cocktails, and it's pretty straightforward.

Space Cocktail

1 3/4 oz gin
1 1/4 oz frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
1/4 oz lemon juice

Shake, strain into an old-fashioned glass three quarters filled with ice, and serve.

Is it just me, or does the bottle look like a robotic version of Mrs. Butterworth from... the future!
