Cocktail Description

The Citrus Breeze Collins takes the classic Collins template and dials up the sunshine with a triple threat of citrus that'll brighten even the cloudiest day.

This refreshing highball combines Plantation 3 Stars white rum's subtle tropical notes with Giffard Triple Sec's orange essence, then amplifies them with freshly squeezed orange and lime juices for a vibrant, sunny flavor profile. The lemon-lime soda adds just enough effervescence to lift everything up without drowning out the carefully balanced citrus medley. Remarkably simple to make at home, this cocktail requires only basic shaking technique and ingredients you might already have on hand. It's perfect for warm weather gatherings like backyard barbecues or pool parties, but works equally well as a year-round brunch companion when you need a bit of tropical escape. Pair this with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp or fish tacos where the bright acidity will cut through richness while complementing the delicate flavors.
