The Arkham Escape Cocktail


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz white rum

  • ½ oz blue curaçao

  • ½ oz pineapple juice

  • ½ oz lime juice

  • ½ oz coconut cream

  • ¼ oz absinthe (optional, for a mysterious touch)

  • Ice cubes

  • Garnish: Pineapple wedge, Mint sprig


Instructions

  • Chill the Glass: Begin by placing a highball or coupe glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill. This step ensures your cocktail stays crisp and refreshing.

  • Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine white rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, lime juice, coconut cream, and absinthe (if you’re adding this for an extra twist).

  • Add Ice and Shake: Fill the shaker with ice cubes, seal it, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This will thoroughly mix and chill the ingredients for the best flavor.

  • Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into your chilled glass. You can serve it over fresh ice for a laid-back vibe or opt for it straight up if you want a more polished look.

  • Garnish: For the finishing touch, add a pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint to elevate the tropical aesthetic and add a pop of color.

  • Enjoy: Take a sip and let the flavors sweep you away into a world of tropical intrigue.

Notes

When using absinthe in The Arkham Escape, it’s important to start with a small amount, as its potent herbal flavor can quickly dominate the drink. If you’re new to absinthe or prefer a more subtle taste, consider reducing the quantity to just a few drops, or even omitting it entirely. While absinthe adds a unique, mysterious edge to the cocktail, the drink still holds its refreshing tropical appeal without it. Adjusting the absinthe to your taste ensures that the other flavors—like rum, blue curaçao, and pineapple juice—remain balanced and shine through.
