A Simple Tropical Sip: POG Cider + Rum Cocktail Recipe

Does the erratic spring weather have you dreaming of palm trees and sunshine? We’ve got you! This cocktail serves serious tropical vibes, no matter what the forecast says.

Bursting with sweet passionfruit, ripe guava and tangy tangerine flavors, Portland Cider Co.’s POG Cider is already basically a vacation in a can. But when you add a splash of coconut rum and a touch of grenadine, you’ll have a gorgeous beach-ready drink to add a touch of sunshine to the grayest days.

This cocktail is almost as easy to make as it is to sip. The rum adds the unmistakable smoothness of coconut, the grenadine adds a pop of color, and the POG cider ties it all together with a tropical, fruity fizz.

Make a big batch for friends, or just serve yourself a glass to celebrate the weekend! Then sit back, stick your toes in the backyard sandbox, and sip it as the sun sets. What could be better? 🥥🍊
