Bourbon Pina Colada
Why does bourbon get a reputation as a cold weather drink??
Together with my friends at @fourrosesbourbon,
we’re going to prove that theory wrong, and honestly, it wasn’t hard.
Four Roses Small Batch brings a soft, fruity character with layers of spice that hold up beautifully against tropical flavors, which makes it a surprisingly natural fit for a frozen drink. So instead of reaching for rum, I built this Pina Colada around bourbon instead. Coconut cream and pineapple juice bring that classic tiki sweetness, a splash of lime juice adds acidity to balance it out, and blending it all with ice gives you that thick, frosty texture that disappears fast on a hot day.
What’s your go to bourbon cocktail for summer? Drop it below, I might build it next.
Cheers, y’all!
ingredients:
2 oz | 60 ml Four Roses Small Batch
1 oz | 30 ml Coconut Cream
1 oz | 30 ml Pineapple Juice
½ oz | 15 ml Lime Juice
1 Pinch Sea Salt
¼ tsp Xanthan Gum (optional)
Pineapple and Lime Wheel Garnish
instructions:
Combine all ingredients with ice in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and garnish with a pineapple and lime wheel.
Tip: Freeze your pineapple juice into ice cubes ahead of time instead of using regular ice. It keeps the drink from watering down as it sits out in the sun.
