Haitian Gold

Quantum Theory

Quantum Theory cocktail against white background

I wonder where the Quantum Theory cocktail got its name. There’s nothing incomprehensible about this cocktail, and it’s not as mind-blowing as, say, the Zombie. My guess is that it’s the Strega. This is an interesting cocktail, blending sweet and sour citrus flavors with rum and orange liqueur by way of Strega herbal liqueur, which ... Read the full article →

Oh My God

The Oh My God cocktail, spotlit

The Oh My God cocktail is so named because that’s what one might tend to say after tasting it. It’s a pretty wonderful flavor, blending pineapple, peach and apple together. Like a particularly wonderful fruit salad, in liquid form with a kick. The pineapple juice makes Oh My God a sweet drink, but it’s not ... Read the full article →

Bahama Mama

A Bahama Mama against a white background

The Bahama Mama is an old classic. It blends flavors of pineapple juice, coconut and a touch of coffee with two types of rum.

Purple Pushover

The Purple Pushover is a mostly rum-based cocktail, with orange and pineapple juice, and  some very clear notes from a red raspberry liqueur and grenadine.

Georgia Pie

Orange cocktail against gray background

With a name like Georgia Pie, you might expect this cocktail to contain Southern Comfort and taste peachy. And you’d be right.

Western Sling

Orange-ish cocktail by poolside with cherry, orange and straw

The Western Sling cocktail is an easy-going fruity drink featuring three ounces pineapple juice – and most of an ounce of simple syrup, too. But it’s not as sweet as it sounds, because there’s also lemon juice and gin. It’s a variation on the Singapore Sling, and like the Singapore, the alcohol in it can ... Read the full article →

Flying Kangaroo

Pale yellow creamy drink in cocktail glass with pineapple garnish.

I’m not sure where the Flying Kangaroo cocktail gets its name. No kangaroos are involved. There’s not quite enough alcohol in this drink to make you see flying kangaroos. Whatever the case, this is a really fun drink. It’s got the tropical feel of a Pina Colada with its coconut cream, rum and pineapple juice, ... Read the full article →

Garden Fresh

Green cocktail with blue umbrella.

The Garden Fresh cocktail is all about flavor and visual appeal. It gets a pretty green hue from the Midori (or whatever melon liqueur you like).

Betsie Temple

258917_liqueur_13

The Betsie Temple tastes like candy. Pineapple juice, four freakin’ ounces of coconut rum, a little grenadine and some cherries on top. Usually drinks that taste like candy are a little weak, but once in a while, they’re so not. Once in a while, they’re like wolves in sheep’s clothing: deceptively palatable infiltrators capable of ... Read the full article →

Mirage

1032251_orange_juice

The Mirage cocktail isn’t what you expect from looking at it. It blends a number of fruit flavors you don’t normally put together into one exotic taste that’s hard to describe.  Let’s just melon, pineapple, lemon and strawberry may not sound quite the ticket, but they work surprisingly well together. This drink is on the ... Read the full article →

Big Bird

765712_pineapple_juice

The Big Bird cocktail is so named because it’s very yellow, just like the “Sesame Street” character. But there the resemblance ends. This drink pairs one ounce of alcohol with five ounces of fruit juice, so it’s almost healthy. If you want to add a kick, just replace some of the fruit juice with rum ... Read the full article →
