Cocktail Description
A tropical twist on the classic Collins that brings Caribbean vacation vibes straight to your glass, no matter the season.
This refreshing cocktail layers crisp Plantation 3 Stars white rum with rich almond orgeat syrup and tangy lime juice, creating a bright foundation with subtle nutty undertones. The spicy kick from Three Cents Ginger Beer adds effervescence and complexity, while the float of Goslings Black Seal dark rum creates a beautiful gradient effect and introduces deep molasses notes with each sip. Perfect for summer gatherings or anytime you need a mental vacation, the Almond Breeze Collins strikes an ideal balance between sweetness and acidity. It's relatively simple to make but impressive to serve, requiring basic shaking techniques and a careful float of dark rum for that professional-looking layered effect. This versatile sipper pairs wonderfully with grilled seafood, Caribbean jerk chicken, or spicy Asian cuisine that can stand up to its bold flavor profile.
