Notes

This is an amazingly strong drink, the only thing thinning this out is the sweet and sour mix. Feel free to add a splash of cub soda if you feel it needs it. However the 'genuine' LA Water experience is as shown in the recipe.

The LA Water Cocktail delivers a powerful and intriguing mix of flavors. The combination of vodka, gin, tequila, and rum provides a robust alcoholic base, while the triple sec adds a hint of citrus sweetness. The melon and raspberry liqueurs bring a fruity complexity, balanced by the tartness of the sweet & sour mix. The blue curacao adds a touch of orange flavor and contributes to the cocktail’s distinctive green color. Each sip is a blend of sweet, tart, and strong notes, making it a memorable drink.

Tips & Tricks

Modify the amount of sweet & sour mix to balance the sweetness and tartness to your liking.

Substitute regular rum with coconut or spiced rum for a different flavor profile.
