SHAKEN OR STIRRED: ST. BARTH'S RENDITION OF "IF YOU LIKE PINA COLADAS"

September 3, 2020

EDEN ROCK’S PINA COLADA

Eden Rock–St Barths’ Head Bartender Mathieu and his team of cocktail therapists, as they’re known at the hotel, put an Eden twist on the classic Caribbean piña colada with a spritz of champagne and a spoonful of homemade fresh coconut sorbet. Here, we’ll give you the original recipe. Feel free to adjust it based on what you have available at home!

 Ingredients

25ml Clement Blanc
25ml Plantation 3 Stars Rum
30ml fresh pineapple juice
30ml pineapple syrup
1 scoop coconut sorbet
30ml Moët & Chandon champagne

Blend all ingredients together on medium speed until smooth. If you’ve got one handy, serve in a pineapple shaped glass for fun. You can skip the dry ice presentation—we’ll leave that to Matthieu and his team to prepare for you at Rémy Bar on your next visit to St. Barth’s.
