Bermuda Triangle Cocktail: A Delicious Drink with a Hint of Mystery
The Bermuda Triangle is a refreshing cocktail with an exotic flavor and a slightly mysterious aura. It is named after the legendary Bermuda Triangle—an area in the Atlantic Ocean shrouded in myths and stories about missing ships and planes. Despite its eerie name, this cocktail brings only pleasant sensations—it’s sweet, fruity, and incredibly easy to make.
🥃 History of the Cocktail
The exact origins of the Bermuda Triangle cocktail are unknown, but based on its ingredients, it likely emerged in the late 20th century, when fruit liqueurs and rum were at the peak of their popularity. Many believe that bartenders in Bermuda created this drink to reflect the tropical spirit of the region.
This cocktail gained popularity due to the combination of rum and peach schnapps, which pair beautifully with the citrus notes of orange juice. Unlike classic rum-based cocktails like the Mai Tai or Daiquiri, the Bermuda Triangle has a smoother, sweeter taste, making it a favorite among both exotic drink enthusiasts and cocktail newcomers.
🍹 Ingredients
- 45 ml dark rum
- 30 ml peach schnapps
- 120 ml orange juice
- Ice
- Orange slice or cherry for garnish
🔥 How to Make It
- Fill a shaker or a tall glass with ice.
- Add the rum, peach schnapps, and orange juice.
- Stir well (or shake for 10-15 seconds if using a shaker).
- Pour into a chilled glass.
- Garnish with an orange slice or a cocktail cherry.
🍸 Serving Tips
This cocktail is best served in a tall (highball or hurricane) glass to enhance its tropical aesthetic. For a beautiful gradient effect, you can also add a splash of grenadine.
If you’re in the mood for experimentation, try substituting dark rum with light rum for a slightly milder taste.
The Bermuda Triangle cocktail combines a mysterious name with a delightful flavor. It’s perfect for summer parties, poolside evenings, or simply enjoying a relaxing time with friends.🍹
