Ingredients for The Drunk Bunny Cocktail

You only need a handful of ingredients for this drink, and you probably have most of them already:

4 oz Strawberry Lemonade – Homemade or store-bought, either works
Ice Cubes – Essential for keeping it chilled
Fresh Strawberry and Mint Sprig (optional) – For a pop of color and a hint of aroma

Ingredient Tips

Use fresh lemonade if you’re feeling fancy, try making your own strawberry lemonade with fresh strawberries, lemons, and a little sugar
Frozen lemonade concentrate works—just mix it according to the package first

How to Make The Drunk Bunny Cocktail (Step-by-Step)

Let’s talk about how easy this recipe is—because you’re literally just four steps away from tropical bliss.

Step 1: Fill Your Glass with Ice

Grab your favorite glass and fill it about ¾ full with ice cubes. Crushed ice is even better if you want a slushier texture.

Step 2: Pour the Coconut Rum

Measure out 2 oz of coconut rum and pour it directly over the ice.

Step 3: Add Strawberry Lemonade

Now add 4 oz of strawberry lemonade on top of the rum. Don’t worry about layering—this isn’t that kind of cocktail. We’re keeping it easy.

Step 4: Stir and Garnish

Give the drink a gentle stir to combine the flavors. Garnish with a fresh strawberry and a sprig of mint if you’re feeling fancy.

What to Serve with The Drunk Bunny

Caprese skewers or fruit kabobs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I make a mocktail version?

Yes. Just substitute the coconut rum with coconut water, sparkling water, or coconut-flavored soda. You still get that tropical flair without the alcohol.

Can I use pink lemonade instead of strawberry?

Absolutely. Pink lemonade will still give you that gorgeous color and citrusy tang. You could also add a splash of grenadine or muddled berries to mimic the strawberry flavor.

Can I freeze this into popsicles?

Yes. Pour the mixture (with or without alcohol) into popsicle molds and freeze overnight.

How strong is the drink?

It’s pretty mild. With a 2 oz pour of coconut rum to 4 oz lemonade, this cocktail has a light alcohol content, making it ideal for sipping slowly.

Storage Tips

For individual servings:

Always mix fresh. The drink is so easy to make, you really don’t need to prep ahead for just one.

For party pitchers:

Store mixed rum and lemonade in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Don’t add ice to the pitcher—serve over ice instead to avoid dilution.
