The addition of lemonade contributes a refreshing citrus twist, enhancing the overall crispness of the cocktail. Served in a cocktail glass, this drink is often enjoyed for its playful balance between sweet melon notes and the bright, sharp edge provided by the apple and citrus components.
It's a popular choice for those who appreciate a bold, fruit-forward cocktail with a zesty finish.
