Cocktail Colin says:
The Break-Beat Brandy Slam is a lively mix where the smooth warmth of brandy meets the sweet tang of peach schnapps, perfectly balanced by zesty lime juice and refreshing orange juice. This cocktail dances on your tongue just like its breakdancing namesake, creating an energetic yet harmonious blend with a hint of minty freshness.
