Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.7 / 5
The Cough & Drop cocktail is a sweet and fruity concoction that combines the lush flavors of peach, melon, and apple for a refreshing experience. With the base of peach schnapps complemented by the honeydew melon notes of melon liqueur and the crispness of apple liqueur, this drink offers a delightful mix of orchard-fruits taste. The addition of lemonade and apple juice brings in a zesty and slightly tangy edge, making the Cough & Drop an ideal choice for those who enjoy a balance of sweet and sour in their beverages. Served in a cocktail glass, it is typically enjoyed as a cold treat.
