Mushy Peas
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.94 / 5
The Mushy Peas cocktail is a fruity concoction that blends the citrus sweetness of orange juice with the crisp, refreshing taste of apple juice, complemented by a subtle kick from the orange liqueur. This drink is typically enjoyed in a cocktail glass and offers a delightful mix of flavors suitable for those seeking a not-too-strong alcoholic experience. Its name may evoke a playful or unconventional twist to the traditional cocktail experience, as it strays from the typical savory association with the term "mushy peas." The combination of ingredients is designed to create a light, easy-drinking beverage with a gentle balance between the sweetness of the juices and the aromatic complexity of the liqueur.

Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

Mushy Peas is a misleadingly playful name for a cocktail that masterfully combines the bright citrus of orange and apple juices with a blue Curaçao twist for a vibrant visual appeal. This cocktail delivers a juicy, mellow experience, ideal for those who enjoy a fruity escape without the hangover-inducing punch.
