Hello and welcome to my blog post Best Florida Themed Cocktails. When I think Florida, I think rum and all of these themed cocktails have rum as a main ingredient! Read on to explore the Coastline Fog Cocktail, Key West Key Lime Daiquiri and more. The taste. The rum. The Best Florida Themed Cocktails. Slainte!
Coastline Fog Cocktail
Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Add 1 ounce Orange Juice, 1 ounce Bombay Dry Gin, 1 ounce Cruzan Light Rum, 1 ounce Courvoisier Cognac, 1 ounce Lemon Juice and 1 ounce Orgeat Syrup. Cover and shake until shaker becomes frosty and most of the ice has melted. Strain ingredients into Collins glass filled with ice. Top off with 1 ounce Sheffield Dry Sherry. Garnish with orange as desired.
This is a great cocktail to enjoy while you are waiting for the morning marine layer to burn off. Or it is a great cocktail to enjoy in the amazing Florida sunshine after the fog goes away. It goes great anytime of day, all day. Please drink responsibly.
Florida Hurricane Cocktail
Add 1 ounce Passion Fruit Syrup, 2 ounces Cruzan Light Rum, 2 ounces Cruzan Dark Rum, 2 ounces Orange Juice, 1 ounce Lime Juice and 1 ounce Rose’s Grenadine into cocktail shaker filled with ice. Cover and shake until shaker becomes frosty and most of the ice has melted. Strain ingredients into Collins glass filled with ice. Garnish with orange wedges.
The Atlantic Hurricane season, which affects the East Coast of the United States including Florida, usually runs from June 1 through November 30. I think I will enjoy my Florida Hurricane on the West Coast, in a cocktail glass! Cheers to Hurricanes. Please drink responsibly.
Key West Key Lime Daiquiri
Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Add 2 ounces Lime Juice, 2 ounces Cruzan Dark Rum, 2 ounces Malibu Coconut Rum and 1 ounce Orgeat Syrup. Cover and shake until shaker becomes frosty and most of the ice has melted. Fill Collins glass with ice. Strain ingredients into Collins glass. Garnish with lime wedges as desired.
Historians have stated this was the favorite cocktail of the legendary author Ernest Hemingway. I am a fan of iceberg theories, I am also a fan the this cocktail with lots of ice! See what I did there?! Reading The Old Man and the Sea has me daydreaming of Florida and Daiquiris. Cheers to creativity! Please drink responsibly.
Rum Runner
Add 2 ounces Pineapple Juice, 1 ounce Lime Juice, 1 ounce Banana Liqueur, 1 ounce Cruzan Light Rum, 1 ounce Cruzan Dark Rum, 1 ounce Blueberry Liqueur and 1/2 ounce Rose’s Grenadine. Cover and shake until shaker becomes frosty and most of the ice has melted. Garnish with lime wedges as desired.
A Rum Runner is someone that transports prohibited liquors to distant shores and across borders. I’m very grateful that my local liquor store carries all of these tasty ingredients. Trash Can Punch in college had Everclear as an ingredient. Someone brought it from Arizona. That’s as close as I’ve come to being a Rum Runner. Have you crossed borders with prohibited liquor? Shhhhh, I won’t tell anyone. Please drink responsibly.
