Island Boy
A Margarita and a Piña Colada have a baby…
Meet our latest creation:
ISLAND BOY
1.5 oz Tequila Blanco (We used Alma Del Jaguar Blanco)
.5 oz Haitian White Rum (We used Clairin Le Rocher)
.5 oz Kalani Coconut Liqueur
1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
1 TBSP Coconut Cream
1 pinch Coconut Lime Salt
DIRECTIONS: Shake all ingredients with ice until well-chilled. Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass and garnish with a tattooed lime wedge.
INSPO: We found Coconut Lime Salt at Fresh Market the other day and were inspired to create an interesting riff on a marg but incorporate some funky grassy notes of this Haitian rum and add in the sweet silkiness of coconut offset by the bright zing of freshly squeezed lime.
RESULT: Best thing about this cocktail is although it’s a strong one, it’s so perfectly balanced and immediately transports you to the beach.
This will 100% be our go-to for the summer!
Let us know if you make one, or better yet, HIRE US for a cocktail party and we’ll make them for you and your friends all night long!
