Caribbean DreamCocktail recipe
Rating
The cocktail dubbed the Caribbean Dream is an homage to tropical flavors, presenting a rich tapestry of potent spirits blended with the sweetness and zest of fruit juices. It features a base of coconut rum, bringing a creamy, coconutty backdrop, combined with the smoothness of vodka, the fruit-forward notes of peach schnapps, and the strength of white rum and gin.
The cocktail is balanced with the citrusy tang of lemonade and the sweetness of orange juice, while a measure of cider adds a crisp, orchard fruit finish. A splash of red vermouth provides complexity with its herbal and slightly bitter undertones.
Typically served in a pitcher glass, this cocktail encapsulates the vibrant and laid-back essence of the Caribbean. Its generous volume makes it ideal for sharing, evoking the feel of a tropical getaway with every sip.
