The Classic Barbie: A Tropical Twist

This recipe offers a bright and refreshing flavor that is a lovely twist on the original Barbie Cocktail.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 ounces of coconut rum, such as Malibu.
• 1 ounce of pineapple juice
• 0.5 ounce Cointreau or Triple Sec orange liqueur
• 5 ounces of fresh lime juice
• sparkling (top-off) water
• As garnish, maraschino cherry and pineapple wedge
• Optional: pink rim sanding sugar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Glass: Use pink sanding sugar to rim your glass for an added touch of Barbie charm. To create a gorgeous pink border, cut a lime wedge and run it around the glass’s rim before dipping it into the sanding sugar.
2. Activate it: Pour ice into a cocktail shaker. Incorporate the lime juice, pineapple juice, orange liqueur, and coconut rum. Give it a good shake for ten seconds or so.
3. Finally: Pour the mixture through a strainer into an ice-filled glass that has been ready. For a bubbly finish, pour sparkling water over it.
4. Time to Garnish: For some color and flavor, add a maraschino cherry and a pineapple slice.

Tips: A basic sugar rim (prepared with equal parts sugar and water) works just as well if you don’t have access to pink sanding sugar. Just leave out the rum and add an additional squeeze of pineapple juice for a non-alcoholic variation.

Variations on a Dreamhouse: Tailoring Your Barbie Cocktail

The Barbie Cocktail’s versatility is what makes it so lovely. Depending on your preferences, try these entertaining methods to customize your drink:
