Cocktail Colin says:
The Rugby Seven Cocktail is a delightful collision of sweet and sour, where the blackcurrant liqueur’s fruity richness wonderfully counters the zesty punch of lemon juice. Vodka adds a strong backbone, making it a bold, vibrant choice for those who enjoy a layered and compelling cocktail experience.
