Cocktail Description

This Caribbean-inspired riff on the classic Tom Collins swaps gin for bright white rum and adds tropical flair with coconut water.

The Planter's Collins is a refreshing highball that balances Planteray 3 Stars' clean, grassy rum notes with the natural sweetness of coconut water and sugar cane syrup, all brightened by fresh lime juice. You'll taste clean rum character up front, followed by subtle coconut and a tart-sweet finish that keeps you coming back for more. This is the kind of drink that shines on warm afternoons—think backyard barbecues, poolside lounging, or lazy weekend brunches when you want something light and sessionable. The recipe is wonderfully straightforward: just shake, strain, and serve over ice, making it accessible even for beginners who can shake a cocktail shaker. The tropical, citrus-forward profile pairs beautifully with grilled fish tacos, jerk chicken, ceviche, or fresh salads with citrus vinaigrette. It's also light enough to enjoy before dinner without overwhelming your palate, setting you up perfectly for whatever comes next.
