I’ve mixed and served plenty of drinks, and I must say, Red Lobster’s cocktails stand out. They’re not just drinks; they’re an extension of the meal itself, enhancing every bite of seafood with their refreshing flavors. I enjoy how each recipe captures the essence of the sea and brings it right to your table. The best part is that you don’t need to be a pro to whip them up. They’re simple, straightforward, and utterly delicious. I highly recommend checking out this roundup for an authentic taste of the coast.
Make Red Lobster’s signature Bahama Mama drink at home! This cold blended drink gets its standard orange-pink color from the likes of grenadine, pineapple juice, and orange juice. The Bahama Mama features three types of rum — Captain Morgan spiced rum, Bacardi light rum, and Meyer’s Original dark.
Red Lobster’s take on the classic Mai Tai is an excellent warm-weather treat. This fruit-flavored cocktail includes white rum, dark rum, and Triple Sec liqueur. Its bright disposition comes from a citrus lime, pineapple, and orange juice trio. Make this drink appear tropical with sliced pineapple and cherry topping.
This one-of-a-kind Dew Garita packs a flavorful punch. This drink requires homemade Mountain Dew syrup and freshly squeezed lime juice alongside shots of Midori Melon Liqueur and Triple Sec. Decorate your glass rim with lime and Tajin spice for extra flair.
Enjoy the sunset in a glass with this Red Lobster Sunset Passion Colada recipe. It is a unique take on the classic pina colada cocktail. This coconut-forward drink includes pina colada mix and Malibu rum. Switch out the Malibu for rum extract for an alcohol-free rendition. Top the cocktail with strawberry mix to create beautiful contrasting layers. This Sunset Passion Colada tastes like a beach vacation!
Red Lobster’s beloved Malibu Hurricane is an iced cocktail featuring shots of Malibu rum. Its tart and fruity flavor comes from the inclusion of cherry, orange, and pineapple juices. This sour sensation pairs well with the added splash (or two) of Southern Comfort whiskey on top.
Red Lobster makes incredible fruity cocktails, including the Tiki Passion Punch. This drink’s tropical taste shines through because it requires passion fruit puree instead of juice, providing an authentic flavor. The Tiki Passion Punch also relies on pineapple, orange, and lime juices to compliment the passion fruit. It features several shots of your favorite dark rum.
Red Lobster also makes classic alcoholic drinks alongside their tasty inventions. Their Long Island Iced Tea is one of the most refreshing picks from their drink menu. This cocktail includes various types of liquor, including vodka, gin, tequila, and more. While there is no tea in this beverage, it does include Coca-Cola and lemon to balance the alcoholic tang.
Red Lobster’s Triple Berry Sangria is the perfect pitcher drink to make for your next outdoor barbeque. It pairs well with grilled meats like beef and pork. Fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries contribute to this drink’s sweet fruit flavor. Crushed ginger and ginger ale add balancing notes of spice. Include your favorite bottle of red wine and serve in glasses over ice.
