This cocktail is tropical as all get out! This Stroh cocktail, the Hawaiian Creamsicle is a Stroh rum based cocktail, and dare I say transports you to the beach in Hawaii!
We had come across some pineapple coconut juice that was begging to be used in a tropical cocktail. Ad some Stroh rum, and boom, this Hawaiian Creamsicle came to be. Now, this is not a true creamsicle drink. We didn’t use vanilla or whipped cream vodka, and we didn’t use coconut rum like in a painkiller (rum, pineapple and coconut cream), but it’s kind of a mashup between the two drinks. And then of course we embellished from there, because duh.

We don’t always stay simple for drinks, especially tropical ones. We do like to add in more flavors to make it more than just a pineapple and coconut cocktail. Fresh juices are a favorite, and when we saw this juice, we made sure to add some fresh orange juice to it, as well as some lime. Try some twists on classic cocktails like the Winter Mai Tai, Fall in Paradise and the Cargo Cult!
What if I Can’t Find Pineapple Coconut Juice?
The brand we used was R. W. Knudsen, but if you can’t locate it, use 1.50 oz pineapple juice and .50 oz coconut cream, and it will be close to the same properties as the bottle of juice that we used.
Stroh Cocktail
The tropical flavors we used are coconut, pineapple, rum, and orgeat and will have you dreaming of beach vacations when you make this easy cocktail. This cocktail is getting us into the summertime spirit today, and we hope you will too!
When we started this cocktail we knew the base was the aforementioned pineapple coconut juice and the Stroh Rum. We wanted another rum in that, so added Mezan XO Jamaica aged rum for some flavors of banana, spice and tobacco. Then, fresh orange and lime juice, orgeat (almond syrup) and cinnamon syrup for more tropical flavors.
This combo is fresh, light and oh so beachy. But it does pack a punch. Stroh isn’t a light rum, it’s Stroh 160 and overproof!
If you don’t have Mezan, use a Jamaican rum for that bit of molasses flavor.
What Rum Did we Use?
As I said, we used Stroh Rum as the base. If you aren’t familiar with Stroh Rum, it’s an overproof rum that has the flavors of butterscotch, cherry and vanilla. From Austria, it is made from sugarcane byproducts. Stroh comes in different proofs: 76, 80, 108, 120 and 160. In this case we used the highest proof, the 160. A lot of times it is drunk neat or in warm cocktails, but we have found it makes a great rich and spicy base for cold tropical cocktails! Try more rum based cocktails like the Mai Tai, Blue Hawaii, or a Blue Curacao Cocktail!
It’s also used a lot in baking and boozy desserts. Because it’s overproof, of course we had to set it on fire in our Skull Mug from Stroh.
We used Lemon Extract to light the lime half. The Lemon extract lights really easily, and the way you get sparks is by dashing some grated cinnamon on the top. Now, if you do this, please do it carefully, and not around anywhere that you will set anything on fire. We are (semi) professionals! But, we hope you at least enjoy the fun pictures! Feel free to garnish with a cinnamon stick instead.
Cheers, and hope you try this tasty tropical cocktail!
