Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.69 / 5
The Paradise City is a vibrant and tropical-inspired cocktail that offers a delightful mix of sweet and tart flavors. The foundation of the drink is built upon a sturdy base of vodka and tequila, which is infused with the sweetness of mango and cranberry juices. The addition of grenadine brings a beautiful, rich color and enhances the sweetness, while a touch of lime adds a zesty, citrus note to balance the flavors. A hint of sugar is included to round out the taste. Served in a highball glass, The Paradise City is a visually appealing and refreshingly fruity cocktail that can transport your senses to a sunny, idyllic getaway, much like the imagery evoked by its name.
