Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.91 / 5
The Jumping Jack Flash cocktail is a vivacious blend of citrus and spirit with a caffeine kick, served in a highball glass. The combination of the tangy orange liqueur and Cointreau pairs well with the robust flavors of whiskey, creating a complex base with sweet and bitter notes. This concoction is then elevated by the addition of an energy drink, which not only imparts a sugary zest but also invigorates the drinker. The result is a dynamic and lively beverage that's perfect for those looking to energize their palate and keep the night going.
