The Robust Splurge is my favorite creation and what inspired the name is my robust energy and the ingredients are that it literally bursts with flavor and has a robust kick of energy.The flavor profile of the cocktail is sweet,strong and powerful.The ingredients work well because there is a combination of spirit,sorbet creation and three garnish elements. I came up with the cocktail after qualifying for the schweppes Mixologist competion for Southern Africa,and the cocktail was the judges choice to lead me to be the winner.

Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

The Robust Splurge is an audacious blend that combines the tropical sweetness of pineapple sorbet with the punchy trio of whiskey, tequila, and gin. The cucumber and blueberry garnishes add a refreshing twist, while the grenadine and Blue Curaçao create a visual and flavor spectacle that's both sweet and strong.

absolutely loved the burst of pineapple and blueberry flavors, but I felt the whiskey and tequila overpowered the gin a bit. It's super strong and sweet, which made it a bit heavy for my taste. Would've preferred a more balanced drink with a touch less booz.
