Cocktail Colin says:
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.

Comments
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.
