Tips for the Best Coconut Rose Cocktail

Use crushed ice for a more refreshing and chilled drink.
For an extra tropical twist, add a splash of pineapple juice.
Want a layered look? Pour grenadine last, and let it settle at the bottom for a beautiful effect.
Make it a frozen cocktail by blending all ingredients with ice.

Storage Instructions

Best enjoyed fresh! The whipped cream melts quickly, so serve immediately.
Prepping ahead? Mix the rum, vodka, and grenadine, store in the fridge for up to 6 hours, and shake with ice when ready to serve.
Avoid freezing—the alcohol won’t freeze properly, and the texture may change.

Substitutions & Variations

No Strawberry Vodka? Use regular vodka with a splash of strawberry purée or syrup.
Want it creamier? Add ½ oz coconut cream or half-and-half.
Prefer a lighter drink? Top with club soda or sparkling water.
Make it a mocktail! Swap alcohol for coconut water and strawberry syrup.
