Smut
A bold and fruity party punch that mixes red wine with the sweetness of peach schnapps and orange juice, finished with the effervescence of cola. This drink is designed to be served ice-cold in a large mug, making it perfect for casual gatherings.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by artificial peach and sweet citrus. The palate is heavily sugary with dark fruit notes from the wine and a distinct caramel finish from the cola. It has a thick, carbonated mouthfeel with a lingering fruity aftertaste.
