FAQ's
What is coconut rum, and how does it differ from regular rum in the Pole-dancing Parrot cocktail?
Coconut rum is a type of flavored rum infused with coconut or coconut flavoring, giving it a sweet, tropical taste distinct from regular, unflavored rum. It's used in the Pole-dancing Parrot cocktail to add a tropical, sweet flavor that complements the fruit juices.
Why is the Pole-dancing Parrot cocktail stirred and not shaken?
The Pole-dancing Parrot cocktail is stirred instead of shaken to gently mix the ingredients without diluting the drink too much. Stirring helps to maintain the integrity and strength of the flavors, especially since it includes juices that don't need to be aerated through shaking.
What garnishes work well with the Pole-dancing Parrot cocktail?
For the Pole-dancing Parrot cocktail, garnishing with a slice of orange or a maraschino cherry can add a visually appealing touch and enhance its tropical theme. A small umbrella or a twist of orange peel could also complement its fun and vibrant character.

With an alcohol content of 5.7%, the Pole-dancing Parrot is on the lower end compared to many standard cocktails, which usually range from 10% to 25% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes it a lighter option, suitable for those seeking a less potent drink.
Can the Pole-dancing Parrot cocktail be made into a non-alcoholic version?
