Rating
Mikey's Madness is an eclectic cocktail that features a unique blend of ingredients known for their vibrant colors and distinct flavors. The base of the drink is comprised of absinthe, known for its herbal and often licorice-like taste, which provides a strong flavor profile.
This is balanced with the sweetness of lemonade, creating a contrasting palate of sharp and refreshing notes. Additionally, the inclusion of WKD Red and multiple servings of WKD Blue introduces a fruity and slightly carbonated dimension that results in a colorful and whimsical presentation.
Served in a highball glass, this concoction is recognized for its striking visual appeal and its bold, varied flavors, catering to those who enjoy a potent and playful drink experience.
