Refresher #2

The Refresher #2 is a vibrant and invigorating cocktail that combines the crisp, tangy notes of citrus mint schnapps with the smooth and bold flavor of blue vodka, topped off with the effervescent touch of Strongbow cider. This drink is a delightful balance of fruity and minty freshness, with the cider adding a bubbly finish. The blue vodka not only imparts a striking color to the cocktail but also provides a clean, neutral base that allows the citrus and mint flavors to shine through.

The origins of the Refresher #2 are not well-documented, but its composition suggests it was crafted with a modern twist in mind, appealing to those who appreciate visually stunning and refreshing beverages. The use of schnapps and cider hints at a European influence, likely drawing inspiration from the tradition of mixing spirits with sparkling apple beverages. This cocktail is perfect for warm weather gatherings or any occasion where a lively and refreshing drink is desired.
