The Story Behind The Capri Sunrise

Capri Sun Tropical Punch is a surprisingly worthy match for gin in this quirky, easy-drinking cocktail. Angostura bitters balance the sweetness, as does light tonic water.

(Our recipe calls for mixing and pouring into a rocks glass, but feel free to mix yours right in the pouch.)

Ingredients

  • ¾ ounce gin
  • 3 ounces Tropical Punch (approximately half a pouch!)
  • 2 ounces light tonic water, such as Q Mixers
  • 4 to 5 shakes Angostura bitters

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients except tonic water in a cocktail mixing glass and stir.
  2. Pour over ice into a rocks glass. Top with tonic.
