California Surfer cocktail on a bookshelf in front of a mini German beer stein.

California Surfer

Print Recipe
Very easy to make, the California Surfer combines equal parts Coconut Rum, Jägermeister, and Pineapple Juice for a great cocktail with plenty of kick. There's a tropical aspect to this cocktail due to the Coconut and Pineapple with an unusual aspect due to the Jägermeister that's sure to surprise.
Why it's called the California Surfer, we don't know. This drink is sometimes also called the Surfer on Acid which has a somewhat threatening name, and perhaps better. Although not too old a cocktail, it's still a great California standard.
Serve this drink however you like and adjust the quantities to suit, even if you want to do it as a quick shooter. Either way, stay out of the water after having a few of these...

  • 30 mL Jägermeister
  • 30 mL Pineapple Juice

  • Enjoy.

Notes

As mentioned, you can serve this drink however you like, just adjust the ratios to suit. Our recipe is best suited to a Rocks glass, but if you want to cut everything back and serve this drink in a shot glass, go for it!
Personally we like this cocktail on the rocks. There are some pretty bold flavours in there, so serving the cocktail with ice and allowing it to dilute slightly will make things a little less intense. But hey, you may like things a little more intense, dude.
