This one might seem a little over the top because of the number of ingredients, but what happened is that I freeze extra juice in half ounce cubes (I found the perfect ice cube trays for that) and after awhile I ended up with half ounce portions of all of these juices in my freezer except for the lime (you know what, I should start freezing lime juice too). And I have a squeeze bottle of cream of coconut in the fridge. So I thought why not try all of the tropical ingredients at once? And it turned out just as good as you might imagine. If you don’t have one of the juices just use what you have, it’ll be good anyway. 😋🏝🍹
2 oz tequila
1 oz lime juice
3/4 oz Cointreau
1/2 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz mango nectar
1/2 oz guava nectar
1/2 oz passionfruit purée
1/2 oz cream of coconut
1/2 oz grenadine
1 cup ice (or more, if juices not frozen)
Blend until smooth. Use frozen juices if you can, so you don’t have to use as much ice. Add more grenadine or cream of coconut if it’s not sweet enough, or lime juice if it’s too sweet. You will need a glass that holds at least 16 oz.
PS: I’m into origami and made the cocktail umbrella myself! This one is a lot bigger than a normal cocktail umbrella, but I love it (later I made one that’s much smaller).
