Cocktail Colin says:
The Crack Baby cocktail offers a tantalizing mix of sweet and tangy flavors, with the passion fruit juice and strawberries balancing the rich notes of Chambord and fizzy champagne. The vodka provides a smooth backbone, making it irresistibly refreshing and dangerously easy to drink.
