Surfer on Acid
Serving the Surfer on Acid over ice helps to tame the sweet and herbal flavors, and it produces a lengthier, more sessionable cocktail. The Jägermeister provides plenty of oomph, along with a mildly bitter backbone, while the classic duo of coconut rum and pineapple juice lends fruity sweetness. Using fresh pineapple juice—or the best bottled juice you can find—will add brightness and acidity to the drink, helping to keep the flavors balanced.
The tall, cold cocktail brings ultimate refreshment on a warm day, whether you’re surfing in California or sitting at your favorite bar.
Ingredients
1 ounce Jägermeister
1 ounce coconut rum
1 ounce pineapple juice
Garnish: pineapple wedge
Steps
Add the Jägermeister, coconut rum and pineapple juice into a shaker with ice, and shake until well-chilled.
Strain into a tall glass over fresh ice.
Garnish with a pineapple wedge.
