Orange, creme, rum and vodka make up Sunshine Punch, a nostalgic new ready-to-serve cocktail inspired by a classic summertime treat—orange creamsicle. This bright, fresh and uplifting cocktail boasts a smooth citrus taste and it's a sessionable sipper made for sharing.
As the brand describes, "Sunshine Punch has a pleasant orange aroma up front that transitions into the perfect blend of orange and vanilla on the tongue, ending with a lingering cream finish that continues to develop with each sip." Like the essence of sunshine and good times, bottled, this cocktail offers a mood-boosting experience.
While this cocktail is ready to be sipped and savored over ice, it can also be mixed into cocktails, taken as a chilled shot or used to spike a slushy.
