Simple , sweet, and as stunning as the bird itself. This is the Flamingo.
Drinks that look good tend to be the ones that pull you in to give them first try, the Flamingo is very much a visually appealing cocktail with a flavour that will win you over. Pineapple juice and Rum go hand in hand and along with the sour addition of Lime Juice , you get a very well balanced creation. It is important not to use too much Grenadine in this drink as the colour will become more of a solid red rather than a light red/pink which is meant to represent the colour of a Flamingo.
This is a great drink to put together when you are short on ingredients or if you are just trying to impress friends and family with something that looks and tastes great. It is a great example of keeping things simple but maintaining quality in a drink. So, give it a try and see if it can make a believer out of you. Here is how it is made.
