Dennis The Menace
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.6 / 5
The Dennis The Menace cocktail is a fruity and tropical drink that captures the essence of a beach vacation. With a base of coconut rum, usually denoted by brands like Malibu, this cocktail infuses the creamy, sweet flavor of coconut with the juicy, tangy notes of peach via peach schnapps. The addition of pineapple juice enhances the tropical character, while a splash of cranberry juice adds a slightly tart contrast and creates a beautiful color complexity. Typically served in a cocktail glass, the Dennis The Menace can evoke playful and mischievous vibes, much like its comic strip namesake, making it a fun and refreshing choice for those who enjoy sweet, fruit-forward cocktails.
