New Port Codebreaker sits firmly in the modern “tropical highball” camp: a tall, fruit-forward drink that leans on bold spirits and creamy modifiers for impact. It isn’t a widely documented classic with a fixed origin story, so you can treat it as a contemporary, bar-built mash-up of tiki-style strength and brunchy richness—designed to taste generous, look sunny, and hit with a confident kick.
You’ll find tequila reposado brings a rounded, oak-kissed backbone that meets the overproof rum’s raw intensity head-on, giving the drink its “codebreaker” punch. Orange juice stretches everything into an easy, sippable format, while advocaat adds a thick, eggy sweetness that makes the citrus feel softer and more dessert-like. Coconut cream folds in a lush, tropical richness, smoothing the edges of the high-proof spirits and leaving a creamy, orange-coconut finish.
Serve it in a highball when you want something that drinks like a holiday but carries serious weight—ideal for warm afternoons, poolside playlists, or a late brunch that’s drifting into evening. If you like creamy tropical flavours but don’t want a gentle cocktail, this is the one you’ll reach for.

Highball glass
Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
Tequila reposado and overproof rum punch through a big wash of orange juice, while advocaat and coconut cream add a dense, custardy sweetness that turns the citrus into a creamy orange-coconut shake with a boozy edge. It works because the orange juice keeps the rich advocaat and coconut cream from feeling cloying, and the two spirits add backbone; ideal for tropical-drink fans who like their highballs strong and silky.

FAQ's
How should I properly shake the New Port Codebreaker?
To properly shake the New Port Codebreaker, fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the orange juice, Advocaat, coconut cream, tequila reposado, and overproof rum. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well-chilled. Straining into a highball glass filled with ice will ensure a smooth texture and cold serve.
Is there a substitute for Advocaat in the New Port Codebreaker?
Yes, if you don't have Advocaat, you can substitute it with egg nog or a creamy liqueur that has a similar egg base. The flavor profile will change slightly, but it will still contribute to the cocktail's creamy texture and rich taste.
How does the alcohol content of the New Port Codebreaker compare to a standard cocktail?
The New Port Codebreaker has an alcohol content of 12.68%, which is slightly higher than many standard cocktails, which typically range between 10-12% alcohol by volume (ABV). Its higher strength comes from the inclusion of overproof rum and tequila reposado, making it a stronger choice compared to more traditional cocktails.
What is the best way to serve the New Port Codebreaker to enhance its flavors?
Serving the New Port Codebreaker in a highball glass chilled and over ice is recommended to enhance its flavors. The cold temperature helps to meld the flavors of the orange juice, Advocaat, coconut cream, and spirits while making it a refreshing choice. Optionally, garnishing it with a slice of orange or a cherry can add a visual appeal and a hint of additional flavor.
What kind of overproof rum works best in the New Port Codebreaker?
For the New Port Codebreaker, using a high-quality overproof rum that is rich in flavor but not overly harsh is ideal. A rum that is 57% alcohol by volume (ABV) or higher, such as Jamaican or Demerara overproof rum, will provide the robustness needed for the cocktail while complementing the sweet and creamy ingredients rather than overpowering them.
