Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

Riders on the Storm is an exquisitely crafted tropical cocktail that offers a delightful symphony of fruit flavors, cleverly balancing the sweetness of peach schnapps and banana liqueur with the invigorating zest of lemon vodka and citrus juices. The dash of cranberry juice introduces a slight tart undertone that nicely juxtaposes the complex layers of sweetness, resulting in a refreshing, well-rounded drink that embodies both the excitement and serenity of a tropical getaway.
