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.
