Family-Friendly Rum Island Breeze Mocktail Recipe

For a family-friendly twist on our Rum Island Breeze, swap out the rum for a blend of cranberry juice. I’ll share a mocktail recipe below so your kiddos (or anyone who doesn’t drink alcohol) can enjoy it, too!

Yield: 1 8 oz glass
Prep Time: 4 min
Total Time: 4 min

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Strawberry Lemonade
• 2 oz Pineapple Juice
• ½ oz Grenadine
• 1 oz Cranberry Juice (to replace the Bacardi for color and a bit of tartness)
• 1 ½ oz Coconut Water (to mimic the light, tropical flavor of Parrot Bay Rum)
• Ice Cubes
• Garnish: Pineapple wedge or cherry

Directions:

1. In a shaker, add ice, strawberry lemonade, pineapple juice, grenadine, cranberry juice, and coconut water.
2. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
3. Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice. The tall glass helps maintain the vibrant layers of the mocktail.
4. Garnish with a wedge of pineapple, wedge of lime, or a cherry on top for that extra tropical touch.

This mocktail version of the Rum Island Breeze is perfect for anyone looking for a delicious, non-alcoholic drink that still feels fun!

Rum Island Breeze Pairing Suggestions

Pairing the right food with your cocktail can turn a simple sip into a gourmet experience. The fruity and tropical notes of the cocktail make it a perfect companion for light seafood dishes—think shrimp cocktails or grilled fish. 

For something a bit heartier, tropical appetizers like coconut shrimp or pineapple and ham skewers are a match made in heaven. 

And for dessert? A Dole Whip or pineapple upside-down cake would be perfect!
