Toes in the Sand Cocktail

Guava just tastes like a tropical vacation to us. I guess that’s probably because the only time we really get to enjoy it is while spending time in the islands.

We’re really missing our island travel right now and thought we’d satisfy an island taste by mixing up a new rum cocktail with guava. It’s always fun to experiment with a new recipe – especially when you come up with something satisfying, like this delicious drink.

We struggled with a name, thinking it should have guava in it, but finally settled on Toes in the Sand, because – it tastes like a drink one would enjoy while basking in the Caribbean sunshine! Enjoy a little taste of the tropics – even if you can’t physically be there right now.

The Tropical Escape

The Tropical Escape

Gosh, who couldn’t use a tropical escape right now? Although we’d rather be drinking this delicious tropical combination of coconut and guava on our favorite Caribbean beach, the taste, at least, will remind us of swinging in a hammock with the sound of gentle waves lapping the shore. Ahhh…

The Tropical Escape is super easy to make and we like to add the optional floater to ours. The taste of the guava and coconut blended together is delicate, so although we frequently use a dark rum as a floater, we opted for a good gold rum (we used Cruzan aged). It added a little more rum taste and a slightly stronger alcohol content without overpowering the cocktail.
