From the Bartender

A Hawaiian tiki-bar variation on the Piña Colada, popularised in the 1960s. Cream of coconut is not coconut cream and definitely not coconut milk — it is sweetened, and substituting the others will produce a thin, savoury disappointment.

Bahama Mama
Dark Rum

Bahama Mama

Pineapple and coconut up front, citrus keeping it honest, and dark molasses rum underneath giving it far more backbone than the colour suggests.

Piña Colada
White Rum

Piña Colada

Lusciously creamy and tropical, with bright fresh pineapple sweetness balanced against rich, velvety coconut - the white rum weaves beneath it all with a gentle warming lift that keeps this sun-soaked indulgence from ever feeling heavy.

Arizona Twister
Spiced Rum

Arizona Twister

A vibrant tropical whirlwind of sweet pineapple and citrus with creamy coconut richness, underpinned by warm spiced rum. The grenadine adds a soft berry sweetness and a glowing sunset hue, making every sip feel like a poolside vacation.

Bounty Hunter
White Rum

Bounty Hunter

A sun-drenched tropical escape with creamy coconut, bright pineapple, and smooth white rum, lifted by crisp prosecco bubbles and finished with a whisper of fresh berry tartness. Light, refreshing, and celebratory with a smooth effervescent finish.
