Ranking The Top 10 Tropical Drinks For The Summer
I have returned from vacation and on the trip, I did some tropical drink reviews. In my opinion, here are my top 10:
*I only reviewed 10
10) Sparkling Paradise
Sparkling white wine, vodka, pear, green apple, berries, lime, and ice
9) Tequila Sunrise
Tequila, orange juice, grenadine, and ice
8) Strawberry Daiquiri
White rum, strawberries, lime juice, syrup, blended with ice
7) Pink Panther
Coconut rum, vodka, peach schnapps, triple sec, grapefruit juice, grenadine, blended with ice
6) Blue Hawaiian
Rum, blue curacao, pineapple juice, sweet & sour mix, blended with ice
5) Pink Mezcal
Mezcal, pink grapefruit juice, lime juice, grapefruit soda, and ice. Spicy salt on the rim.
4) Paloma
Tequila, lime juice, grapefruit juice, and ice. Salt on the rim.
3) Pina Colada
White rum, pineapple, coconut milk, coconut cream, lime juice, blended with ice. Typically garnished with a cherry or an orange.
2) Mojito
White rum, lime juice, simple syrup, club soda, fresh mint, and ice
1) Miami Vice
White rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice, strawberry, blended with ice
I went in thinking the Pina Colada would be the #1 by a lot, but I was surprised. The Mojito gets it by a smidge and the Miami Vice is the best tropical drink by good margin. It's like a Pina Colada, but a bit more fruity and refreshing. It's the perfect blend of flavors and should be your choice next time you're at a place that serves them during the summer.
