3.61 / 5
The Turbo Cider is a bold and vibrant cocktail that combines the crispness of traditional cider with the sweetness of blue WKD and the spicy kick of Aftershock (Blue), which contributes a set of complex flavors and a striking blue color. This beverage is typically served in a pint glass, suggesting its popularity in larger servings suitable for relaxed sipping over extended periods. The contrasting sweet and sharp notes make it a unique choice for those looking to explore combinations outside of the classic cocktail realm. With its visually appealing hue and layered taste profile, Turbo Cider appeals to adventurous drinkers looking for something unconventional and full of character.
