Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.78 / 5
Dezzie's Disaster is a cocktail notable for its unconventional fusion of flavors, combining the tartness of cider with the sweet and fruity undertones of blackcurrant cordial and the unique taste of Smirnoff Ice. This drink is typically served in a pint glass, offering a generous volume that makes it ideal for a lengthy sipping experience. Its name suggests a playful concoction that might have an unexpected impact, and the cocktail's relatively low alcohol content paired with its large volume caters to those who enjoy milder drinks with a pronounced fruity aftertaste. The use of familiar ingredients like cider and the popular Smirnoff Ice may appeal to a wide range of palates looking for a refreshing, easy-to-drink option.
