An exquisite cocktail consisting of layers of different liqueurs and white rum. It has a sweet taste, medium strength and original appearance. With the right ingredients, one serving is made at home in 2-3 minutes. In general, this is a wonderful drink that can surprise guests during a buffet table or a festive party.
It is difficult to compare “Medusa” with other well-known cocktails, it resembles the “Brain Tumor” cocktail with its original appearance, but the taste is two completely different drinks.
