The Story Behind The Colada Sunrise
It might be time for a vacation. Lately I've been dreaming of a small island, someplace warm and tropical, where I can sit back and run my toes through the perfect white sand while sipping delicious cocktails.
This Colada Sunrise is just the thing. To riff on a traditional Piña Colada, I added some mango juice and grenadine, giving it lots of fruity flavor and beautiful colors. Best of all, it’s low-proof enough that you can probably enjoy more than one before moving onto your typical Daiquiri, Margarita, or other warm-weather drink.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ ounces white rum
- 1 ounce coconut cream
- 1 ounce mango juice
- 2 ounces pineapple juice
- ½ ounce grenadine
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake hard to chill and combine ingredients.
- Strain into a rocks glass over ice.
- Garnish and enjoy!
