Why This Recipe Works

  • A frozen cocktail is a great place for peaches you've let get a little too ripe.
  • Angostura adds balanced spice and bitterness without overpowering the fruity peaches.
  • Pre-batching and chilling the cocktail mixture the night before you serve it gives you a cold base that requires less ice in the blender and won't melt the drink right away.

This rich and creamy frozen peach cocktail has a lot of spice from Angostura bitters and two kinds of rum. The dark rum float is an added boozy bonus, but if you'd like to keep the drink light, leave it off.

Peachy Rum and Coconut Frozen Blended Cocktail Recipe

Active 10 mins
Total 8 hrs
Serves 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces rum

  • 4 ounces coconut cream, such as Coco Lopez

  • 2 ounces simple syrup (see note)

  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and cubed

  • 8 dashes Angostura bitters

  • 1 ounce dark rum, such as Blackwell, divided (optional)

  • Ground cinnamon and 4 cinnamon sticks, for garnish

Directions

  1. Combine rum, coconut cream, simple syrup, peaches, and Angostura in a zipper-lock bag or resealable container. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to overnight.

  2. Transfer rum mixture to a blender and add 3 cups ice. Blend at high speed until well mixed and thick, about 45 seconds. Pour into 4 highball glasses and top each with 1/4 ounce dark rum (if desired), a dash of cinnamon, and a cinnamon stick.

Notes

To make simple syrup, combine 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Cool before using. Simple syrup will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
