Unleashing the Magic
The Polynesian Spell weaves its enchantment by masterfully blending a harmonious symphony of ingredients. At its core, Dillon’s Dry Gin lends its distinctive botanical notes, while Triple Sec adds a bright, citrusy twist. The unexpected addition of Dr McGillicuddy Peach Schnapps introduces a luscious, fruity undertone, mingling seamlessly with the sweet embrace of grape juice. A touch of lemon juice brightens the flavors, while simple syrup ties the components together in a delightfully balanced sipper.
