The Tropical Escape
This delicate tropical taste combination of coconut rum and guava will have you dreaming of the islands.
Servings: 4
- 4 oz. Coconut Rum (we used Blue Chair Bay Coconut Rum)
- 4 oz. Guava Nectar (or guava juice if you can't find the nectar)
- 4 tsp. Lemon Juice
- 6 dashes Bitters
- 2 tsp. Simple Syrup
- 4 oz. Coconut Water
- 2 - 4 oz. Gold Rum for Floater (optional)
- Pineapple Fronds and/or Pineapple Chunks (for garnish)
Combine the coconut rum, guava nectar, lemon juice, bitters and coconut water in a large cocktail shaker and shake or stir to blend. Add crushed ice to glasses (we used martini glasses like these), and pour the cocktail over the ice. Add 1/2 - 1 oz. of floater to each glass, if desired.
Garnish with pineapple fronds and a chunk of pineapple.
