Beachside Bonfire Cocktail


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz dark rum (or mezcal for a smokier kick)

  • 1 oz pineapple juice

  • ½ oz coconut cream

  • ½ oz maple syrup (or honey)

  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth)

  • A few drops of liquid smoke (optional, for enhanced smokiness)

  • Ice cubes

  • Garnish: Toasted marshmallow, cinnamon stick, or a pineapple wedge


Instructions

Step 1: In a cocktail shaker, add dark rum (or mezcal), pineapple juice, coconut cream, maple syrup, and cinnamon. If you want an extra smoky effect, add a few drops of liquid smoke.

Step 2: Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, ensuring the ingredients are well combined and chilled.

Step 3: Strain the mixture into a lowball glass filled with fresh ice or serve it neat in a chilled rocks glass for a stronger flavor.

Step 4: Garnish with a toasted marshmallow on a cocktail pick, a cinnamon stick, or a pineapple wedge to enhance both the presentation and the aroma.

Step 5: If desired, lightly torch the marshmallow before serving for an authentic campfire feel. Sip, savor, and enjoy the warmth of this flavorful cocktail.

Notes

  • If using mezcal, start with a small amount and adjust to taste, as its smokiness can be quite strong.

  • Toasting the marshmallow beforehand gives it an authentic campfire aroma that enhances the overall experience.

  • Shake the cocktail thoroughly to fully blend the coconut cream and achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
