Piña colada's spiced kin
Dark rum, pineapple, orange, and coconut — tropical heaven in a glass. The opposite of pain; basically a vacation cocktail.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Dark Rum
- 3 oz Pineapple Juice
- 1 oz Fresh Orange Juice
- 1 oz Coconut Cream
Method
Shake dark rum, pineapple juice, fresh orange juice, and coconut cream with ice. Strain into a highball with fresh ice. Garnish with pineapple wedge and cherry.
Created at the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands, in the 1970s. Per Difford's Guide #1454. Daphne Henderson is credited as the creator by Pusser's official account, though Difford's does not name her specifically. Pusser's founder Charles Tobias reverse-engineered and popularized a version of the drink. Notes: a variation on the classic Piña Colada.
