The Tropical Tease Cocktail is a vibrant, fruity explosion of flavor that’s as bold as it is beautiful. With the sweet taste of coconut rum and peach schnapps, a splash of overproof rum for that extra punch, and layers of pineapple, orange, and cranberry juice, it’s a cocktail that screams vacation in a glass. Topped off with a swirl of grenadine, this drink is tropical, slightly boozy, and incredibly easy to love.

Perfect for pool parties, BBQs, or girls’ night in—it’s colorful, flirty, and dangerously drinkable.

Instructions

1. Shake It Up
   Add all ingredients except grenadine to a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Shake Until Chilled
   Shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until frosty cold.
3. Strain & Serve
   Strain into a hurricane or highball glass filled with fresh ice.
4. Add the Grenadine
   Slowly drizzle grenadine over the top—it will sink and swirl for that gorgeous layered effect.
5. Garnish & Enjoy
   Top with a cherry and orange slice, and sip slowly… or not.

Notes

• 151 rum is strong—feel free to cut it in half or omit for a lighter version.
• Chill your juices ahead of time for the coldest, smoothest sip.
• For extra flair, serve with a cocktail umbrella and tropical glassware.
