What is Nuclear Fallout?
The Nuclear Fallout cocktail is a high-impact, neon-green drink built for party nights, late bars, and anyone who enjoys their cocktails loud and unapologetic. Overproof rum brings the heat, melon liqueur adds that unmistakable green glow, and blue curaçao deepens both color and citrus bite. Fresh lime juice and simple syrup keep it balanced, though just barely, in the best way possible. This is the kind of cocktail that turns heads before the first sip.
If you enjoy intense, colorful cocktails that lean into fun over finesse, this one delivers. It sits comfortably next to other bold drinks like the Electric Lemonade or the Long Island Iced Tea, but with a sharper citrus edge and a tropical-rum backbone. It’s fast, flashy, and probably stronger than it looks, which feels very on brand for the name.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
Why You'll Love It?
- It’s loud, bright, and impossible to ignore.
- The overproof rum adds real punch without completely overpowering the citrus.
- That neon-green color practically sells itself.
- Perfect for parties, themed nights, or when subtlety is overrated.
