Cocktail Colin says:
The Golden Goal Smash offers a lively blend of zesty lemon and aromatic basil that instantly lifts the crisp apple liqueur, rounded off elegantly with the warm sweetness of white rum. The unexpected splash of cola adds a bubbly twist, making it a perfect pick-me-up for celebratory moments.
