Cocktail recipe

3.88 / 5
Dajana With Love is a tropical and fruity cocktail that is sure to transport you to a warm and sunny beach with its refreshing flavor profile. The drink is made with a combination of coconut rum, white rum, and gin, giving it a strong and aromatic base. A dash of grenadine adds a subtle sweetness and a brilliant red hue, while the grapefruit juice adds a tangy and slightly bitter note. To balance out the flavors, a half teaspoon of sugar is added, giving it a touch of sweetness. The real star ingredient, however, is the banana juice, which adds a creamy and tropical twist to the cocktail. Served over ice, Dajana With Love is a perfect blend of tropical flavors that will leave you feeling like you're sipping a cocktail on the beach.
