Introduction
If you’re a fan of tropical drinks and are looking for a way to transport yourself to an island paradise, the Jamaican Breeze cocktail is a perfect choice. This original recipe from bartender and brand ambassador Willy Shine is an ideal mix of island refreshment, with the perfect combination of flavors that will make you feel like you’re relaxing on a sunny beach.
The cocktail starts with a base of Appleton Estate Reserve, an eight-year-old Jamaican rum with a rich fruit and oak aroma, and flavors of honey, vanilla, holiday spices, and orange peel. The rum is paired with pineapple juice, ginger, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters, creating a refreshing and fruity blend that will transport you to the Caribbean with every sip.
The ginger is muddled in the shaker to give the drink a little kick, releasing a fresh burst of heat that complements the rich rum and sweet pineapple. The result is a perfect balance of flavors that will make you feel like you’re sipping a cool, fruity drink on the beach.
The Jamaican Breeze cocktail is perfect for sipping on a warm day or serving at a summer party. It’s a refreshing and fruity drink that will transport you to the tropics with its perfect blend of flavors.
When to enjoy the drink
But while the drink may be delicious, it’s important to remember to enjoy it responsibly. The alcohol content in the Jamaican Breeze is fairly high, with 1 1/2 ounces of rum per serving. The estimated calorie count is around 160 calories per drink, so it’s best to enjoy it as an occasional treat.
In summary, the Jamaican Breeze cocktail is a perfect way to transport yourself to the tropics with its ideal mix of fruity and refreshing flavors. With the perfect blend of rum, pineapple juice, ginger, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters, this cocktail is a must-try for anyone who loves tropical drinks. So why not grab a shaker and try making one for yourself?
