The Lion King Cocktail

The movie talks to us about the circle of life in a sweet epic story that stays with us.  If like Simba you are saying, ” I can’t wait to be king!” then you need to remember to keep that enthusiasm and live the moment.  Things will fall into place soon enough :-).  This drink might be a nod to when all is good and everyone is full of love.  It does mix in a dash of the mighty king.  That is because, Mufasa might be powerful, but we see much of his big heart and soft side in Disney’s The Lion King.  Inspired by this, we are mixing flavors with much personality that smoothly blend it together for an easy to drink cocktail.

How to make The Lion King Cocktail

Ingredients

  • 2 oz of orange juice
  • 3 oz of pineapple juice
  • 1 oz coconut rum
  • 1.5 oz dark rum plus
  • Ice
  • Splash of Grenadine
  • Lime to garnish
  • Blackberries for garnish

Directions

  1. Shake together the pineapple and orange juice, dark rum, and coconut rum.
  2. Pour into your glass filled with ice.
  3. Then slowly pour in a splash of grenadine.  Doing this allows the Grenadine to sink to the bottom to get the gorgeous color
  4. Garnish with a blackberry, lime and pineapple leaves.

The mix of the rich smoky and sweet dark rum with the rest of the ingredients makes for the perfect sunset relaxing drink.

Cool mom tip: to make this drink into a mocktail, remove the rums and ad 1.5 oz of cocunut water to the mix.
