Adam Bomb
A potent, frozen party drink combining equal parts rum, vodka, and tequila with fruit flavors. This slushy cocktail packs an explosive punch, balanced by the sweetness of triple sec and fresh fruit, making it ideal for summer gatherings.
What it tastes like
This drink leads with a heavy aroma of chilled mixed berries and tropical fruit, followed by a sharp citrus note from the triple sec. The palate is cold and thick with a slushy texture, masking the high alcohol content through fruit sugars and acidity. It finishes with a lingering saltiness from the rim and a faint burn from the combination of three clear spirits.
