Swimming Pool Cocktail Recipe

1 Comment
SWIMMING POOL COCKTAIL Recipe

Swimming Pool is the name of a creamy-sweet cocktail based on white rum and vodka. By combining rum with coconut and pineapple juice, it belongs to the group of coladas and is closely related to the popular Piña Colada. In contrast to this, part of the white rum is replaced by vodka and a shot of Blue Curaçao (blue orange liqueur) is added, which gives the drink the turquoise-blue color of a swimming pool and thus its name. Another famous cocktail of Schumann is the Flying Kangaroo.

INGREDIENTS

  • 40 ml / 1 ⅓ oz. white Rum
  • 20 ml/ ⅔  oz. vodka
  • 20 ml/ ⅔  oz. coconut syrup
  • 10 ml/ ⅓ oz. cream
  • 40 ml/ 1 ⅓ oz. pineapple juice
  • 10 mll/ ⅓ oz. Blue Curaçao

METHOD

  1. Fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the Blue Curaçao.
  3. Shake and strain into fancy glass filled with crshed ice.
  4. Top with Blue Curaçao liqueur.
  5. Garnish with a piece of pineapple and a cherry.

NOTES

The “swimmingpool” – originally written in one word and actually not a cocktail in the classic sense, but a so-called fancy drink – was created in 1979 in Munich’s Schumann’s Bar and was first published in 1984 by its operator, the bartender Charles Schumann.

Sex on the Beach

The Sex on the Beach cocktail is in its original form a fruity, moderately sweet cocktail and belongs to the group of New England highballs. The most famous recipe from the United States is mixed with cranberry nectar and also contains vodka, peach liqueur and orange juice. My recipe also includes pineapple juice and black raspberry liqueur (Chambord).

INGREDIENTS

  • 20 ml/ ⅔ oz. Peachtree liqueur
  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. orange juice (freshly sqeezed)
  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. pineapple juice (freshly pressed)
  • 45 ml/ 1 ½ oz. vodka
  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. cranberry juice
  • 15 ml/ ½ oz. black raspberry liqueur (Chambord)

METHOD

  1. Shake the first three ingredients (the beach part) with ice.
  2. Strain into ice-filled glass.
  3. Then shake the last three ingredients (the sex part) with ice.
  4. Strain into glass to sit on top oft he beach base layer.
  5. Garnish with an orange slice.
  6. Serve with a stirrer and instukt drinker to mix layers before drinking.

NOTES

Since the cranberry nectar was previously difficult to obtain outside of the USA, for example in Germany, there are now many preparation options under the popular name Sex on the Beach. These contain other juices, syrups, liqueurs and sometimes even other basic spirits such as tequila. Often the orange juice is completely or partially replaced by pineapple juice.
