Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.86 / 5
The Cerbera cocktail is a fruity concoction that combines the sweetness of apple juice with the tartness of raspberry liqueur and the robust flavor of raspberry vodka. Named after a plant known for its beauty and toxicity, this drink is served in a highball glass, enhancing the visual appeal of its rich, red hues. Meant to be sipped through straws with a garnish of lime to add a touch of citrus, the Cerbera offers a refreshing taste experience with a balance between the sweetness of the apple and the sharpness of the raspberries. The overall profile is a cold, fruit-forward beverage that promises to be an enticing option for those who enjoy sweeter, berry-flavored cocktails.
