Featured Recipe: John’s PCP (Pineapple, Coconut, Passion)

Recently while visiting Autumn’s family, I decided to break out my traveling bar kit and whip up some batch cocktails. 

Faced with a very limited supply of rums and juices, I threw together the following drink using leftover ingredients from a round of piña coladas.  Interestingly, this drink was the absolute hit of the night, and officially crowned “John’s PCP” as it is just THAT addictive.

The following feature will provide the necessary ingredients and steps for making it at home.  Let us know what you think in the comments.  Cheers!

• 1 oz coconut rum (we used Malibu)
• 2-3 dashes of El Guapo Polynesian Kiss Bitters (Angostura also works)

Cocktail Steps:
Combine all ingredients in a glass with ice, and swizzle with a bar spoon.  Add bitters once drink has been mixed.

Garnish:
Garnish with an edible hibiscus flower or lime wheel.
 
Wayward Spirits Rating:
Overall Score – 4.5

This recipe is a good example of a happy accident when it comes to cocktails – refreshing, fruity, boozy, and well-balanced without an initial recipe.  Autumn claims it’s one of her favorite drinks that I’ve ever made, but I feel like there something missing (preventing the ever-so elusive 5-star rating)

Give it a try and let us know what you think!
