Trade Winds

The Trade Winds is a lush tiki sour built on a split base of dark Jamaican and light rum, layered with apricot liqueur, cream of coconut, and a generous pour of fresh lemon to keep all that sweetness in check. A vintage Caribbean drink from the 1970s, it was rescued from obscurity by tiki historian Beachbum Berry and given its modern form at San Francisco's Smuggler's Cove. Shaken or swizzled over crushed ice and crowned with a windblown umbrella, it drinks rich, bright, and unmistakably tropical.
