Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

For the Bomb Shot (the “island bomb”):

???? 1 oz coconut rum – tropical, creamy backbone
???? ½ oz strawberry liqueur or syrup – adds a fruity pop
???? Splash of fresh lime juice – balances with acidity

For the Cocktail Base (the “breeze”):

???? 4 oz pineapple juice – juicy tropical flavor
???? 2 oz orange soda or lemon-lime soda – fizzy, citrusy lift
???? Crushed ice – for chill and texture
???? Maraschino cherry – garnish
???? Pineapple wedge – garnish (optional)
???? Mint sprig – optional, for aromatic finish

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Bomb Shot
In a shot glass, combine coconut rum, strawberry liqueur (or syrup), and lime juice. Stir gently and set aside. This is your “island bomb.”

Step 2: Prepare the Cocktail Base
In a large cocktail or highball glass, add crushed ice. Pour in the pineapple juice and orange soda (or lemon-lime soda). Stir lightly to mix.

Step 3: Drop the Bomb
When ready to serve, drop the shot glass into the cocktail base. The flavors will explode together as the shot blends with the soda and juice.

Step 4: Garnish
Top the glass with a maraschino cherry, pineapple wedge, and/or mint sprig for a festive finish.

Step 5: Sip and Enjoy Immediately!
The bomb effect is best experienced right away—drink after the shot is dropped for full flavor fusion.

Notes

These bombs are very forgiving, but a few key tips ensure success:

Keep all ingredients cold—warm soda will foam up and ruin the balance.
If using fresh fruit juice, strain it first to avoid pulp or grit in the cocktail.
Always drop the shot right before serving to preserve the bomb effect
