Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.57 / 5
The Flo Back cocktail is a tropical and fruity mix that embodies the essence of a carefree beach vacation. It features a blend of coconut rum, vodka, and peach schnapps, which provide a smooth and sweet base that is balanced by the refreshing acidity of pineapple and orange juices. A touch of grenadine adds a hint of pomegranate sweetness and gives the drink a visually appealing sunset gradient when properly layered. Served in a cocktail glass and often garnished with fresh fruit and a playful umbrella, the Flo Back offers a delightful escape to a sunny paradise with every sip.
