Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.71 / 5
The Zia cocktail is a potent concoction that blends the robust spirits of vodka, gin, white rum, and tequila with the sweet and fruity flavors of pineapple juice, orange juice, and grenadine. Topped off with a splash of champagne, this drink offers a complex and effervescent taste experience. The addition of champagne provides a fizzy contrast to the rich sweetness of the juices and grenadine, making the Zia a celebratory and visually striking option often served in a highball glass. This cocktail's strong profile is matched by its diverse ingredient list, appealing to those who enjoy a bold flavor with a luxurious touch.
