Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.89 / 5
Sweet Lips is a tropical and creamy cocktail, combining the rich, velvety texture of Bailey's Irish Cream with the light, nutty flavor of coconut rum and the crisp, clear essence of vodka. This drink is mellowed and sweetened with the addition of pineapple juice and a hint of grenadine syrup, which also lends the cocktail a fruit-forward taste and a beautiful gradient color. Traditionally served in a hurricane glass, Sweet Lips presents an alluring visual appeal as well as a delightful combination of flavors that is reminiscent of a tropical vacation. The cocktail is known for its sweet, smooth, and indulgent profile, making it a favorite for those who enjoy decadent, dessert-like beverages with an exotic twist.
