Summer is here, and we can’t imagine being anywhere but relaxing by the pool , far from the sweltering city and its worries. During the day, we’d bask in the sun, reading the latest Jonathan Franzen novel and waiting for friends to arrive for vermouth in the shade of a poolside shed. We’d take a refreshing dip every half hour and watch as the sun gradually sets until that magnificent moment when the sky transforms into a vibrant palette of violets and oranges. It’s then, before nightfall, that what we crave most is a refreshing cocktail to the rhythm of BB King . And what better way to accompany our sunset than with the Swimming Pool cocktail ?
Below you will find the recipe:
Ingredients
- 3 parts white rum .
- 2 parts vodka .
- 4 parts coconut cream.
- 2 parts of liquid cream.

Preparation
- Mix and stir all the ingredients except the blue Curaçao in a glass with ice, or mix them in a cocktail shaker.
