Ingredients
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz coconut rum
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz orange juice
- 1 oz cranberry juice
- 1/2 oz lime juice
- Ice cubes
- Pineapple slice and cherry for garnish
Method
- Prepare Your Glasses:
- Chill your cocktail glasses in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before making the cocktail. This ensures that the drink stays cold longer.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a cocktail shaker, add a generous amount of ice cubes. Pour in the white rum, coconut rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, and lime juice.
- Shake It Up:
- Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds. This helps to mix the ingredients thoroughly and chill the drink.
- Strain and Pour:
- Remove the cocktail glasses from the freezer. Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the chilled glasses. Ensure that the ice stays in the shaker and doesn’t dilute the drink in the glass.
- Garnish:
- Add a slice of pineapple and a cherry to the rim of each glass for a festive touch. You can also add a small cocktail umbrella or a sprig of mint for extra flair.
- Serve Immediately:
- Enjoy your Summer Breeze Cocktail while it’s still cold and refreshing. This drink pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, fresh fruit, or a simple cheese platter.
With its vibrant colors and tropical flavors, the Summer Breeze Cocktail is a sure way to impress your guests and provide a taste of paradise right at home. Cheers to good times and great drinks!
