Kick in the head cocktail

There is a good reason behind naming this cocktail "Kick in the head". The fruity flavors of mango and Orange covers up the taste of alcohol in the drink. You feel like you are just sipping a tropical drink until after you enjoy the whole glass :)... and that is when you start feeling a "Kick in the head"
