4 / 5
The Gelatinous Cube cocktail is a playful and visually intriguing drink that combines the sweetness of lemonade with the tartness of lime cordial, while a wobbly touch of jelly adds a unique textural element. The inclusion of bourbon gives the cocktail a smooth, deep undercurrent of warmth, balancing the zesty citrus flavors for a multifaceted drinking experience. Served in a highball glass, this cocktail offers a fun spin on traditional mixed drinks and is particularly appealing for those who enjoy a hint of whimsy with their libations.
