Alcoholic Cocktail Wine Glass 5 ingredients

Recipe

  • 1.25 oz Rum (White)
  • 3/4 oz Triple Sec
  • 1 oz Cranberry Juice
  • 1 oz Pineapple Juice
  • 1 oz Orange Juice

Instructions

Jonathan Scruggs- Mixologist from Nashville, TN @ Opryland Hotel - Beaverage Department. Nashvilles know for being " Music City " Inspiration- girls or women who need a quick , sweet, drink who cannot make up their minds, but yet it still looks classy enough to drink anywhere.When making a " Music City Sunset " I like to use a standard Wine Glass. Fill the glass with half ice before making. Pour the alcohol in with Rum first then the Triple Sec. Use just a splash of Pineapple Juice and Orange Juice first , which is about an oz. Once you've done that ,then add the Cranberry Juice but don't Mix or shake. I like to give the appearance that the the sun has settled in the clouds, and it looks like it too. Just garnish with a Cherry and a couple of cocktail straws.

About Music City Sunset

The Music City Sunset is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that captures the essence of a tropical getaway while paying homage to the lively spirit of Nashville, often referred to as "Music City." This delightful drink combines the smoothness of white rum with the citrusy brightness of triple sec, creating a harmonious base. The blend of cranberry, pineapple, and orange juices adds a fruity depth and a splash of color reminiscent of a stunning sunset.

The origins of the Music City Sunset are somewhat elusive, as is often the case with cocktails that draw inspiration from regional identities and cultural themes. It likely emerged as a creative concoction in a Nashville bar, designed to offer patrons a taste of tropical relaxation while enjoying the city's renowned music scene. The cocktail's vibrant hues and balanced flavors make it a favorite for those seeking a refreshing, sweet-tart experience, perfect for sipping while unwinding to the sounds of live music or enjoying a summer evening.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Wine Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
