Cocktail Colin says:
Kickstarter Smash is a bold medley where the robust warmth of whiskey meets the zesty freshness of lime and mint, balanced by a sweet touch of rose syrup. The vanilla ice cream adds a creamy, cooling contrast, making each sip a delightful clash of strength and cool elegance, akin to the athletes it celebrates.
