The Solar Flare is a fiery, flavor-forward cocktail that balances citrus, spice, and tropical sweetness. Crafted with LAVA Sweet & Sour Mix, LAVA Grenadine Syrup, and a touch of tequila and rum, it’s a layered, glowing cocktail that looks as striking as it tastes — sweet up front, tangy in the middle, and a little heat on the finish.
