Tasting Notes

The Tropical Rum Spritz is bright, lightly sweet, and full of citrus and tropical flavor. White rum gives it a smooth base, while blue curaçao adds a light orange note and that bold pop of color. Pineapple juice adds a sweet tropical touch, and lemonade brings a little tartness to balance it out. Prosecco on top gives the drink fizz and a dry finish, keeping it crisp and easy to sip. The flavors blend well without being too strong or too sweet just enough fruit, citrus, and sparkle to make it refreshing and fun.

Equipment and Glassware

You won’t need much to make this. A jigger helps measure each pour, and a bar spoon is handy for a light stir. No shaker or strainer needed this one’s built right in the glass. Use a wine glass or large spritz glass with ice so there’s plenty of room for the Prosecco topper. A citrus peeler or small knife is helpful if you want to add a simple lemon or orange twist for garnish. The drink’s color is a big part of its look, so serve in clear glassware to let it shine.
