History

I've used a lot of semi-aromatic, high acid, herbaceous white wines here, to good effect. The original called for Marlborough Sauv Blanc, but I've also had good results with Loire Sauv, Franken Silvaner, and unoaked/modern styles of Verdejo.

  • Wonderful, but 1 black strap rum with 1 chartreuse is even better
  • Cocktail Chemistry Specs: 1.5oz (45ml) Green Chartreuse .5oz (15ml) fresh pineapple juice .5oz (15ml) cream of coconut 1oz (30ml) fresh lime juice
  • It would be hard to go wrong with a GC Piña Colada...
  • Delicious. The chartreuse isn't overpowering but is nice.

mako commented on 8/23/2020:

This is the same concept as the Chartreuse Colada.The Branca Menta will add mintiness (in the other drink) is a nice choice although that is probably up to taste. The presence of lime (in this drink) improves this (and other) Piña Coladas so keep that. The Coco López is the traditional choice (IMHO) is often better than trying to make your own coconut cream although often a combination of CL and CM/CC leads to the best results.

Since I don't know what "a standard sized" ice cube is, my suggestion would be to use about 6 oz of ice (by weight).

sevyryelsdorn commented on 6/05/2018:

I don't have Scarlet Ibis, so I tried making this with a bottle of Zaya that I am regretting having bought (the only Trinidad rum I have.) The overwhelming vanilla flavor made this drink cloying. So if you have a recent vintage bottle of Zaya, I wouldn't try it in this drink. In fact, I'm not sure what I'd try it in.

Inspired. A real procession on the palet. 1 shot choc bitters worked for me. The whiskey does what no American whiskey could do. Well done.
