Seasonal

Themed

Couldn’t let the seasonal drinks pass without a creamy coconut offering. Tart cranberry and other seasonal fruit operate perfectly opposite the classic coconut and rum combo in my richest holiday beverage yet! Recommended brands: •Havana Club 7 Años •Chairman’s Reserve Saint Lucia spiced rum •Coco Reàl coconut cream •Ocean Spray cranberry juice •Dillon’s Small Batch ginger bitters

Editor's Note

A holiday-spiced twist on the classic Colada. Tart cranberry and pear liqueur cut through the rich coconut cream for a festive, winter-ready frozen treat.
