Three Ingredients, One Orgeat: The Easiest Tiki Drink You'll Make

You don’t need a fully stocked tiki bar or a long list of ingredients to make a tropical cocktail at home. Sometimes, three simple ingredients are all it takes.

The Tropic Breeze combines rum, pineapple juice, and Collins Orgeat Cocktail Syrup for an easy tropical drink that’s perfect for peak summer sipping. Finished with a Collins Cocktail Cherry, it feels festive enough for entertaining while staying simple enough to mix whenever the mood strikes.

And with National Rum Day on August 16, there’s no better excuse to give it a try.

Meet Your New Bar Cart Essential: Orgeat

If orgeat isn’t already part of your home bar, this is an easy place to start. Traditionally used in tropical and tiki-style cocktails, orgeat adds a distinctive almond-inspired sweetness that pairs especially well with rum and fruit juices.

Instead of building a complicated cocktail with several syrups, juices, and modifiers, Collins Orgeat Cocktail Syrup makes it easy to bring that signature flavor to your drink with a single pour.

For the Tropic Breeze, it pairs with pineapple juice and rum to create a cocktail that tastes special without requiring extra prep.
