Flirty Rum Cocktail

I’ll admit it, I’m a salt-rim kind of girl. A classic margarita has been my go-to “drinky drink” for ages. But when girl’s night calls for something themed, I’m always game. Enter: the Flirty Rum Cocktail. This gorgeous red sip comes with a sweet strawberry-sugar rim that’s just as fun on the glass as it is sprinkled on a rice cake treat (yes, I tested it and it’s delicious).

Ingredients (Makes 2 Cocktails)

For the Cocktail:

For the Glass Rim:

  • 1 Tbsp cane sugar

  • 1-2 Tbsp crushed freeze dried-strawberries

  • 1 Lime wedge (for rimming the glass)

  1. Place the freeze-dried strawberries in a Ziploc bag. Using a rolling pin (or even a meat tenderizer), crush them until you have a chunky strawberry dust.

  2. Combine the strawberry dust and cane sugar on a small plate. Mix lightly and set aside.

  3. Rub a lime wedge along the edge of each coupe glass. This will help the rim mixture stick the glasses.

  4. Roll the lime coated edge of your coupe glass in the strawberry-sugar mixture until evenly coated. Then set them aside.

  5. In a cocktail shaker, combine the toasted coconut rum, fresh lime juice, and grenadine with ice. Shake well until slightly chilled.

  6. Strain the mixture into your prepared, sugar-rimmed coupe glasses then enjoy! Cheers! Sláinte!
