The cocktail's vibrant color and strong taste make it a popular choice at parties and social gatherings.
The Walk Me Down cocktail is a delightful blend of sweet and sour, with a strong alcoholic kick. The combination of rum, tequila, vodka, gin, and blue curaçao gives it a unique, robust flavor, while the lemon juice and sweet and sour mix balance it out with a refreshing tanginess.
