3.63 / 5
The cocktail known as "Shaker" is a bold and potent blend that combines the clear notes of vodka with the smooth and subtle undertones of white rum. The inclusion of Aftershock (Red) adds a spicy cinnamon kick, while a generous measure of peppermint liqueur brings a refreshing and minty counterbalance to the drink's profile. Served in a highball glass, the "Shaker" presents a unique harmony of flavors that are simultaneously spicy, sweet, and invigorating. This cocktail is chilled and provides a strong, spirited experience for those who appreciate a drink with a notable kick and a complex flavor composition.
