The Medusa cocktail is a vibrant and fruity blend that captures the imagination with its mythical name. It combines the sweet and tangy flavors of peach schnapps, lime juice, and orange liqueur with the depth of whiskey and the lightness of white rum.

A dash of grenadine adds a touch of color and sweetness, creating a beautiful gradient reminiscent of a fading sunset, while the lemonade base offers a refreshing and fizzy component. Served in a cocktail glass, the Medusa presents a diverse flavor profile that ranges from the peachy sweetness to the sharp citrus zing, making it an intriguing choice for those who enjoy a complex, multi-layered drink.
