Summer RiserCocktail recipe
Rating
The Summer Riser is a refreshing and fruity cocktail that embodies the essence of sunshine and carefree days. It combines the clear, smooth flavors of vodka and white rum with the sweet and tangy notes of orange juice, the tartness of cranberry juice, and a splash of lemonade to add a fizzy, zesty finish.
The drink is typically served in a highball glass, which allows for the perfect balance of ice and liquid, making it an ideal choice for warm weather sipping. With its vibrant red and orange hues, the Summer Riser is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate, evoking the joy and relaxation of summer with every sip.
