3.97 / 5
The Spowart Special is a tantalizing cocktail that combines the robust notes of red wine with the crispness of vodka, all harmoniously blended with the sweetness of orange juice and the effervescence of lemonade. This cocktail bursts with a spectrum of flavors, thanks to the addition of Taboo, which is a fruity liqueur known for its exotic infusion of tropical and citrus fruits. Typically served in a highball glass, the Spowart Special offers a refreshing and unique drinking experience with a complex flavor profile that is both rich and invigorating, making it an interesting choice for those looking to explore beyond classic cocktail recipes.
