Cocktail Colin says:
The Freestyle Handlebar Hop is a tropical rollercoaster where the sweetness of coconut rum and melon liqueur perfectly balances the tangy zest of orange and pineapple juices, energized by a subtle kick from the energy drink. The mint leaves add a refreshing finish, making it a lively pick-me-up that feels like a BMX stunt in a glass—exhilarating and smooth.
