Cocktail Colin says:
The Tennis Cup is a bright, refreshing blend where the citrus notes of orange and triple sec playfully enhance the herbal depth of Dubonnet and the crisp bite of gin. The innovative mix of ginger ale and cola adds a fizz that balances the bitters, making it an invigorating sipper perfect for a sunny day courtside.

Absolutely delightful! The blend of Dubonnet and gin creates a smooth base, while the orange and ginger ale add a refreshing zest. The hint of cola is surprisingly perfect. Light and easy to sip, it’s a real treat on a sunny day. Highly recommend giving it a try!
