Golden Goblet Gaffe
This is a nuanced highball, a riff on the classic Collins, that's easy to drink but packs a subtle punch. It's an ode to the infamous 'golden goblets' that seem to fuel many of the show's most dramatic and, at times, cringeworthy moments, especially given the 'gender gap in emotional maturity' observed this season.

History
Inspired by the ubiquitous golden goblets on Love Is Blind, this drink takes a classic Collins structure and adds a touch of Aperol for a bittersweet edge, reflecting the often-bittersweet outcomes of the experiment. The grapefruit provides a refreshing tartness, cutting through any potential 'gaffes.'
