Kenny’s Cooler Cocktail Taste
The drink’s bright blue color comes from the blue curacao, which is a liqueur made with the dried peel of the laraha citrus fruit, which grows on the island of Curacao. The coconut rum gives it a tropical flavor, and the peach schnapps makes it taste sweet and fruity.
The tangy taste of the sweet and sour mix and lemonade balances out the sweetness of the other ingredients. The orange slice and a maraschino cherry on top of Kenny’s Cooler give it a tropical feel.
