As summer approaches, we can expect warm weather, humidity, and plenty of time by the pool. To make the most of these sunny days, nothing beats a refreshing cocktail to cool you down and elevate your spirits.
This Malibu Bay Breeze recipe is a delicious tropical cocktail that pairs coconut rum, cranberry and pineapple, making sure to give you all the Whitsunday sultry summer holiday feels.
Let’s start with some ingredients...
Ingredients
2 ounces 100% pineapple juice
1 ½ ounces coconut rum
2 ounces 100% unsweetened cranberry juice*
1 lime wedge
Now for the fun part, time to start shaking!
Instructions
1. To start, combine the pineapple juice and coconut rum in a glass and give it a stir. Then, fill the glass with ice.
2. In a shot glass or small pitcher, measure out the unsweetened cranberry juice. Carefully pour the cranberry juice over the ice so it floats on top.
3. Finish by garnishing with a lime wedge and enjoy your refreshing Whitsundays cocktail!
Top Tips:
• Use unsweetened cranberry juice – the sugar can affect the density and the order you float the liquid matters.
• Stir the pineapple and coconut rum in a glass to start. These will stay on the bottom.
• Finish with the unsweetened cranberry juice, which will float on top (provided you get unsweetened) and stir gently for a swirl effect.
