Ingredients
-
2 oz coconut rum
-
4 oz strawberry lemonade
-
Ice cubes
-
Fresh strawberry (for garnish, optional)
-
Mint sprig (for garnish, optional)
Optional Add-ins:
-
½ oz lime juice (for added tartness)
-
½ oz triple sec (for citrus depth)
-
Dash of grenadine (for richer color)
-
Splash of soda water (for fizz)
-
Shredded coconut rim (for tropical presentation)
Instructions
Step 1: Chill and rim if desired
Chill a highball or stemless wine glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. If desired, run a lemon wedge around the rim and dip in shredded coconut or sugar for a festive finish.
Step 2: Fill the glass with ice
Add a generous amount of ice cubes to your chilled glass to keep the drink crisp and cold.
Step 3: Add the rum and lemonade
Pour 2 oz coconut rum and 4 oz strawberry lemonade over the ice. Stir gently to combine. If you want a stronger drink, you can bump the rum up to 2½ oz or add a splash of triple sec.
Step 4: Add finishing touches
Garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim and a mint sprig for a refreshing aroma. Serve immediately with a straw or cocktail stirrer.
Notes
-
Use fresh strawberry lemonade or homemade for best flavor—store-bought works too, but choose low-sugar varieties to control sweetness.
-
Coconut rum adds tropical flair without being overpowering. Malibu is a popular option, but any brand will work.
-
For parties, multiply ingredients and serve in a large pitcher or punch bowl over ice.
-
Keep ingredients chilled to reduce dilution and maintain flavor balance.
-
Fresh garnishes not only look great—they enhance aroma and taste.
