Tired Of Mimosas For Breakfast? Try This Rum Cocktail Recipe

Ron Barcelo Tropical Breakfast Cocktail Is Called The Desayuno Tropical

By Kevin Wilkerson, PubClub.com Cocktails Blogger

Champagne and mimosas are the de facto alcoholic beverages when one is doing a little morning drinking, so much so that there is a term for pairing them with a big meal: the champagne brunch.

But don’t you sometimes get tired of champagne or mimosas? Don’t you long for something else, while still wanting to enjoy the occasional thrill of getting a buzz with your breakfast on a Sunday (or Saturday) Funday?

Beer just doesn’t seem an appropriate replacement.

Now, just like a fresh tropical breeze blowing across a lanai on a warm and sunny morning, there is relief.

Dominican rum distiller Ron Barcelo has come up with a cocktail for breakfast and named it, appropriately enough, the Desayuno Tropical. That’s Spanish for “tropical breakfast,” and it contains Ron Barceló Gran Añejo, green tea and earl grey tea-infused simple syrup, egg whites and lemon juice.

Here is the recipe. PubClub.com suggests putting on some TropRock music – and you can do by clicking the Radio Trop Rock “play” button on the right column of this post, with lots of steel drums.
