“Sip, splash, repeat: the ultimate summer vibe with a Swimming Pool cocktail in hand.
'Tis the season for sunshine, laughter, and making memories with loved ones! So in the spirit of good times this Christmas, we share with you a refreshing, expertly crafted summer cocktail that's perfect for sipping by the pool with friends and family…
Introducing the aptly named Swimming Pool cocktail: A refreshing summer classic inspired by the iconic German cocktail of the 1970s.
The Swimming Pool cocktail is a delicious blend of pineapple juice, coconut flavours, rum, vodka, and a hint of Blue Curaçao. Reminiscent of a piña colada, with a subtle sweetness derived from the sweetened condensed milk and curaçao.
Ingredients:
30ml vodka
30ml rum
20ml coconut milk (canned, thick) + extra for rim
20ml sweetened condensed milk
60ml pineapple juice
30ml blue curaçao
Shredded unsweetened coconut for rim
Crushed ice
Fresh pineapple wedge for garnish
Maraschino cherry for garnish
Craft your Swimming Pool cocktail:
Prepare the cocktail rim by dipping into the coconut milk and then the shredded unsweetened coconut. Fill your glass with crushed ice.
Prepare your garnish by cutting small wedges of pineapple and add to a cocktail skewer with a maraschino cherry.
Stir together vodka, rum, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk and pineapple juice.
Shake with ice in a cocktail shaker, then strain over the fresh ice in your glass.
Add the blue curacao directly into the glass to create the swimming pool effect. No need to stir.
Garnish and serve.
Enjoy poolside!
