The reimagined Yum-Yum cocktail is a vibrant, tropical delight that harmoniously balances the sweetness of mango and peach with the zest of lime. Enhanced with a touch of honey syrup and a hint of bitters, this version offers a more complex flavor profile while retaining its refreshing essence.
Ingredients
- 1 oz white rum (e.g., Appleton Estate Reserve)
- 1 oz coconut rum (e.g., Malibu)
- 1 oz mango juice (preferably fresh or high-quality bottled)
- 1 oz peach juice
- ½ oz fresh lime juice
- ¼ oz honey syrup (1:1 honey and water)
- 2 dashes of aromatic bitters (e.g., Angostura)
- Crushed ice
- Garnish: Lime wheel and mint sprig
Steps to Make It
- Prepare the honey syrup by combining equal parts honey and warm water. Stir until fully dissolved and let it cool.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the white rum, coconut rum, mango juice, peach juice, fresh lime juice, honey syrup, and bitters.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well-chilled.
- Fill a double old-fashioned glass with crushed ice.
- Strain the cocktail over the crushed ice.
