Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.63 / 5
A Day At The Beach is a tropical-inspired cocktail that evokes the laid-back vibes of a seaside getaway. It brings together the sweet, nutty flavor of amaretto with the creamy, sun-kissed taste of coconut rum. This is underpinned by the fresh, tangy essence of orange juice, creating a vibrant citrus base. A drizzle of grenadine adds a hint of pomegranate sweetness along with a beautiful gradient sunset effect, reminiscent of an actual day at the beach. The garnish of a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry provides a fruity finishing touch that complements the drink's island character. Typically served in a lowball glass, this cocktail is a popular choice for those seeking a refreshing and fruity beverage.
