Rating
The Obama Slammer is a tropical-flavored cocktail that combines the sweet, creamy notes of coconut rum with the tangy, juicy flavor of pineapple juice. A splash of grenadine adds a hint of pomegranate sweetness and creates a layered visual effect, while the peppermint schnapps introduces an unexpected fresh and minty kick.
Typically served in a highball glass, this cocktail offers a refreshing and fruity taste with a unique minty twist, making it a distinctive choice for those seeking a light and exotic drink. The inclusion of a cherry and pineapple slice as garnishes complements the beverage's tropical character.

Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Obama Slammer?

What is the recommended technique for mixing the ingredients of an Obama Slammer?
The Obama Slammer is typically prepared by stirring the ingredients rather than shaking.
