Aqua Marine
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.83 / 5
The Aqua Marine cocktail is a visually appealing drink that shines in a pint glass, offering a refreshing and fruity flavor profile. It combines the sweet and sour characteristics of apple liqueur with the distinctive taste of Taboo, a fruit-flavored spirit. These two liquors are gently complemented by the crispness of lemonade, resulting in a balanced concoction. The drink is often served over crushed ice, ensuring a cold, invigorating experience ideal for casual sipping on warm days or as a playful addition to a summer party beverage selection. Despite its name suggesting an exotic escape, the Aqua Marine cocktail is approachable with a moderately sweet and tangy essence that is neither too potent nor overwhelming, making it suitable for those who prefer milder alcoholic beverages.
