Big Wave Cocktail
Method
Big Wave Cocktail
- 1
- 2
Combine spirits and juices
In a cocktail shaker, add 6 ice cubes, 2 oz light rum, 1 oz coconut rum (Malibu), 0.5 oz banana liqueur, 3 oz pineapple juice, 1 oz orange juice, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. Add 0.5 tsp simple syrup if you prefer a slightly sweeter cocktail and 1 dash Angostura bitters if using.

Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted. This chills and slightly dilutes the drink for balance.

Strain and build
Strain the shaken mixture into the chilled highball or hurricane glass over the crushed ice. Pour gently so the layers remain slightly mixed but the drink stays cold.

Garnish and finish
Garnish with a pineapple wedge or wheel and a maraschino cherry on a pick. Optionally, give one more tiny dash of Angostura bitters on top to add an aromatic note.

Serve
Serve immediately with a straw and a cocktail napkin. Enjoy responsibly.
