What’s in a Tropical Breeze Martini?
This Tropical Breeze Martini features three ingredients; coconut rum, curaçao and pineapple. I enjoy using coconut rum in drinks. Coconut rum is not overly strong and is only 21% alcohol by volume, so it’s about 1/2 the alcohol content of vodka. Thus, the reason it goes down super easy! I love the fact that coconut pretty much goes with everything. It’s great with pineapple, strawberry, banana, (try our Banana Coconut Martini), cranberry, etc. What doesn’t go well with coconut?
Curaçao is a liquor that is actually colorless but often artificially colored blue or orange to give it a distinctive look. Curaçao, named after the island on which it originated, is made with the dried peel of the bitter orange laraha, a native citrus fruit. Only 15% alcohol by volume, this liquor has both a bitter and sweet taste. Thus, the reason, it is often used in cocktails. In addition, the bright blue and orange color of curaçao adds an intense color to cocktails making them look as good as they taste!
Pineapple and its juice are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. (Great news, it’s a healthy drink so less guilt!) Pineapples are vibrant in color and have a rich, fruity flavor. Pineapple juice is a staple in many tropical drinks because it goes well with many other fruits and alcohols.
So let’s get started on that Tropical Breeze Martini! Get whisked away and feel that island breeze! It’s that simple and easy!
