Don’t let the flavor of this cocktail fool you. Though you can’t taste it, this drink is full of alcohol content and will surely sneak up on you in a hurry. It is properly named, not only due to its magnificent color. It will surely be the reason for you to get a couple of these on your body if you drink them down too quickly and are not paying attention. So be sure to drink responsibly.

A combination of citrus and berry, with the added carbonation of lemon-lime soda is a sweet and refreshing combination that will be perfect for this coming season’s festivities, once we get out of this artic chill we seem to be living a lifetime in this winter. For now, I will stick with my hot toddy!
