1pt Love Shack Recipe
1pt Love Shack
There’s something about a tiki drink that just feels like a vacation in a glass, and the Love Shack brings that feeling home. Chocolate-infused rum dances with pineapple juice and fresh lime, giving you all the lush sweetness and balanced tang of a tropical luau without ever leaving your backyard. Batching is a breeze for when you're entertaining friends, and if you’re keeping things light, there’s a mocktail option that still captures the tropical fun.
STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion
Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Chocolate Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of rum in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 5-6 hours, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)
1pt Chocolate Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Vanilla Rooibos, Cacao Shells, Marigold Petals - no sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives, or preservatives
Mocktail* Version:
Substitute water or a zero-proof spirit for the alcohol in this infusion and follow the same steps. (Non-alcoholic infusions should be refrigerated and used within 30 days)
STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink
Ingredient | Cocktail (1) | Batch (8+) |
---|---|---|
1pt Chocolate-infused rum* | 1.5 oz | 375ml |
Pineapple Juice | 2.0 oz | 16 oz |
Fresh Lime Juice | 0.5 oz | 4 oz |
Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a suitable glass over fresh ice. For batching, do not shake. Instead, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice (adding 4 oz of water to mimic the dilution you usually get from shaking) and serve as normal.
Garnish:
Garnish with a pineapple frond for an extra touch of tiki-inspired flair.
STEP 3 - Enjoy!
For an Added Twist:
Add a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top to enhance the tropical vibe.
