Cocktail Description
The Strawberry Sunbeam delivers the Caribbean in a glass, blending rich aged rum with tropical fruit in a silky, sophisticated package.
This elegant cocktail combines the oak and vanilla notes of Appleton Estate 8 Year Reserve with the crisp clarity of Plantation 3 Stars white rum, creating a robust base that carries fresh strawberry puree without becoming cloying. The freshly squeezed lemon juice provides necessary brightness while the agave syrup adds subtle sweetness that complements rather than competes with the natural strawberry flavor. A touch of coconut oil gives the drink a luxurious mouthfeel and tropical undertone without overwhelming the palate. Perfect for warm summer evenings or as an upscale brunch alternative to mimosas, the Strawberry Sunbeam requires some bartending skill—particularly in the fine straining technique—but rewards the effort with its smooth texture and complex flavor profile. It pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, particularly scallops or shrimp, and stands up nicely to spicy Caribbean dishes where its fruity sweetness can provide a cooling counterpoint.
