Tradewinds is a delicious sweet-tart tropical cocktail that first appeared in the pages of Beachbum Berry Remixed, served as a large communal drink. Re-remixed into the perfectly-balanced single-serve recipe shown below, but you can double or triple up on the ingredients if you’d like to serve it in a big tiki bowl.
Ingrediants:
1 oz. (30 ml) Dark Rum
1 oz. (30 ml) Gold Rum
1 oz. (30 ml) Apricot Liqueur / Brandy
1 oz.*(30 ml) Coco Lopez Coconut Cream
1 oz. (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
Quickly blend all ingredients with a cupful of crushed ice, pulse-blending five or six times so as to break down the ice just a bit. Pour unstrained into a tiki mug or tall glass, and serve with a straw. Lemon wedge speared by a tiny umbrella (turned inside out to give it a windswept appearance) Optional: Grated nutmeg, Pineapple fronds.
NOTE:* Smuggler's Cove use 1.5 oz Coco Lopez coconut cream
Also Bombay Sapphire Gin can be substituted for Rums
