About
Ok this is truly a refreshing and deliciously sweet tiki drink…definitely something I think even non/light drinkers would enjoy despite containing a solid 2.5oz of hard alcohol! Tread lightly! Very prominent fresh orange notes are carefully balanced with the other exotic flavors of rum and spice…delicious!
Like many tiki drinks, this one has a sizable ingredient list that makes it a bit harder to recreate at home for the casual cocktail fan, but if you enjoy the flavors of relaxation, these are all staples and worth the investment!
