Rating

3.95 / 5
The Original Delight is a sweet and tropical cocktail that combines the creamy flavor of coconut rum with the clear, crisp bite of vodka and the fruity undertone of peach schnapps. Its large volume suggests it is designed for sharing, and it is topped off with WKD Red, a brightly colored alcopop, which adds a carbonated fruit punch to the mix. Typically served in a pitcher glass, this cocktail is a festive choice for social gatherings, offering a bold and indulgent flavor experience that leans heavily on the sweeter side of the taste spectrum. The Original Delight is a vibrant and colorful option for those who enjoy a drink that is both visually appealing and rich in diverse fruity notes.
