Cherry Coco Breeze

The Cherry Coco Breeze is a frozen cocktail that mixes creamy tropical flavors with a fruity twist.

Tasting Notes

The Cherry Coco Breeze delivers a smooth, tropical flavor with rich fruit and soft coconut notes. Fino sherry adds a dry, slightly nutty base that balances the sweetness of cherry brandy and cream of coconut. Pineapple juice brightens the drink with a gentle tang, while simple syrup smooths out the edges. The texture is thick and icy, with a creamy mouthfeel that’s perfect for sipping. Maraschino cherries bring a pop of color and a burst of fruit aroma. Each sip moves from tart cherry and pineapple to mellow coconut, creating a balanced and refreshing frozen drink.

Equipment and Glassware

To make the Cherry Coco Breeze, you’ll need a blender capable of handling ice, a jigger for accurate measurements, and a spoon or spatula to help with pouring. A hurricane glass works best, offering enough space for the frozen texture and garnish. Use a citrus squeezer if you prefer fresh pineapple juice. A small paring knife may be helpful if you want to adjust or skewer the cherry garnish. Chill your glass ahead of time to slow melting and keep the drink at the right consistency. No shaker or strainer is needed for this blended cocktail.
