Caribbean Christmas: A Tropical Twist on Holiday Cheer

If you’re dreaming of sunshine and spice this festive season, the Caribbean Christmas cocktail delivers a welcome escape in every sip. This bright and breezy serve pairs the smooth warmth of white rum with the vibrant fizz of Double Dutch Pomegranate & Basil, then finishes with fresh tangerine and a sprig of thyme for a subtly seasonal twist. It’s refreshing, flavourful, and full of that easygoing island spirit — with just enough holiday flair to keep things festive.

The Caribbean Christmas is designed for those who want to celebrate the season in a lighter, brighter way. White rum provides the base with its gentle sweetness and soft vanilla notes, while Double Dutch Pomegranate & Basil elevates the serve with tart, fruity sparkle and a botanical finish. The fresh tangerine segments bring citrus juiciness and a splash of colour, while thyme adds an aromatic herbal edge that keeps things feeling grounded and fresh.

Why We Love It

The Caribbean Christmas is a tropical daydream in cocktail form. It’s festive without being overly rich, and it brings a unique twist to the usual seasonal offerings. Where mulled wines and creamy serves often dominate, this cocktail is clean, crisp, and refreshingly different. It’s ideal for those looking to serve something that’s modern and memorable — and it comes together in seconds.

Perfect For…

This is the perfect drink for Christmas brunch, sunny winter getaways, or festive evenings where you want to offer something a little unexpected. Its tropical roots make it a brilliant option for warmer celebrations, but the thyme and tangerine keep it anchored in winter — a perfect balance of bright and cosy. Serve it in a highball or rocks glass with a generous scoop of ice and let the garnishes do the talking.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Double Dutch Pomegranate & Basil is the ultimate partner here — light, lively, and bursting with berry flavour. The pomegranate adds tartness that complements the rum beautifully, while the basil gives the drink an elegant herbal twist that pairs seamlessly with the thyme garnish. The result is a cocktail that’s fresh, festive, and totally unforgettable.

Top Tips for Serving

  • Use fresh, juicy tangerine segments: They add colour, sweetness, and a juicy burst with each sip.
  • Choose a fresh sprig of thyme: Just one stem will add aromatic lift without overpowering the drink.
  • Serve over plenty of ice: This cocktail is at its best when cold, crisp, and sparkling.

The Caribbean Christmas is proof that holiday cocktails don’t need to be heavy to feel festive. With tropical flavour, elegant fizz, and a garnish that’s both fresh and fragrant, this serve brings sunshine to even the snowiest celebration.
