A refreshing highball named after the HTTP status code indicating a resource is permanently gone. This simple yet effective cocktail pairs the sweet, fruity notes of peach vodka with the caramel depth of Coca-Cola, creating a drink that is deceptively easy to consume.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by candy-like peach and the caramel notes of the cola. On the palate, the drink is heavily sweet with a fizzy texture and flavors of stone fruit and vanilla. The finish is short and sugary with a lingering cola spice.
