Beachcomber Cocktail Recipe

Our Review of the Beachcomber Cocktail

Rum? Yes please!

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody that I like cocktails. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that rum based cocktails are my favourite though… that’s because they’re all my favourite. I love all spirits equally. But the Beachcomber Cocktail is one of my favourite rum based cocktails.

Sure, I like a Daiquiri, but the Beachcomber takes things a little further and adds a deeper flavour profile while still staying to the Daiquiri roots. Although the Beachcomber has a little bit more sweetness than a Daiquiri, it still feels like a Daiquiri. There are more than a few cocktails out there with Daiquiri in the name, but I often feel some of these stray too far and just become a sweet fruit drink with a bit of rum in them. The Beachcomber on the other hand is something else!

I’d even go as far as to say that I like the Beachcomber more than the standard/classic Daiquiri. I’ve already mentioned that the Beachcomber just adds more depth of flavour. There’s a lot going on in the Beachcomber and a lot to explore. If you use a good rum (which you should), it still comes through, but so do the other flavours. And although the Beachcomber can be a little on the sweeter side, the tartness of the lime juice is still prevalent enough to create some dryness and make this cocktail a pretty refreshing one.

Next time you’re in some tropical paradise and want to put your feet up by the pool, go past the resort classics like the Piña Colada and go with something a little different like the Beachcomber. Sure, you’re not straying too far, but you’re on holiday, so you shouldn’t have to try too hard. You just want something tasty. And that tasty something is the Beachcomber.
