The author reflects on first tasting the Escape cocktail in Grand Cayman in 2019, a brilliant fusion of Ramos Gin Fizz and Champagne Piña Colada. This drink, featuring infused rums and topped with tropical foam, captured both his palate and sentimental value as he shared it with his now-wife. To make it accessible for home bartenders and reduce the heaviness of coconut cream, he developed a smaller version called the Seafire Colada, which retains the rich flavors but in a lighter, more enjoyable form.
The unique blend of white rums infused with pineapple skins and coconut, combined with Champagne, creates a tropical foam that elevates the classic Piña Colada experience.
Scaling down the cocktail to a smaller version makes the Seafire Colada lighter, proving that bold flavors can also shine in smaller, more manageable doses.
