Arctic Mouthwash
A vibrant, electric blue frozen cocktail that packs a sweet, citrusy punch. This playful party drink blends Blue Maui schnapps with citrus soda to create a refreshing, slushy treat that resembles its namesake in color but delivers a sugary, tropical flavor profile suitable for cooling down a crowd.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by synthetic citrus and artificial tropical fruit notes. The palate is heavily sweet with a thick, icy mouthfeel and a mild carbonated bite. The finish is short and sugary, leaving a lingering candy-like lime flavor.
