#Tropical Breeze
Equipment
- Equipment Needed: Cocktail shaker, glass, strainer, measuring jigger
Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1 oz coconut rum or use non-alcoholic coconut water for a mocktail
- 2 oz pineapple juice fresh or canned
- 1 oz mango juice or substitute with orange juice for a citrus twist
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice juice of about half a lime
- 1 tsp simple syrup optional, for extra sweetness
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedge and pineapple slice for garnish
Instructions
- Method for Creating the Tropical Breeze:
- Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
- Gather all your ingredients before you begin. If you're using fresh pineapple or mango, ensure that the juices are strained to remove any pulp for a smooth drink.
- Step 2: Add Ingredients to the Shaker
- In a cocktail shaker, pour in 1 oz of coconut rum, 2 oz of pineapple juice, 1 oz of mango juice, 1/2 oz of fresh lime juice, and a teaspoon of simple syrup if you'd like it a bit sweeter.
- Step 3: Shake It Up
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker. Seal it up and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds. From my own personal experience, the longer you shake, the colder and frothier the drink will be, making it extra refreshing.
- Step 4: Strain and Serve
- Use a strainer to pour the cocktail into a chilled glass filled with fresh ice. You can also opt to serve it “up” in a martini glass without ice.
- Step 5: Garnish
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a pineapple slice for that tropical aesthetic. You can also add a fun cocktail umbrella to really set the mood!
- Variations:
- Mocktail Version: Skip the rum and replace it with coconut water or sparkling water for a non-alcoholic version.
- For a Spicy Twist: Add a dash of chili powder or muddle some jalapeño slices into the shaker for a tropical drink with a bit of heat.
- Lower-Calorie Option: Swap the simple syrup for stevia or a sugar-free sweetener, and use light coconut rum to cut down on calories.
- Dairy-Free: The recipe is naturally dairy-free, but make sure any optional syrups or ingredients are also free from dairy.
