Tropical Cocktail Booze Cubes
Summer is here and we’ve got a great way to cool off, tropical cocktail booze cubes. Coconut water, pineapple juice, and rum frozen and ready for your glass!
A few months ago, Kim and I decided to poll our followers on Facebook and ask them what kind of recipes they’d like to see from us this Summer. Overwhelmingly, mixed drinks and salads seemed to be what we heard about the most.
So, we set about creating posts that echoed what our followers desired. Kim started to work on the salads and I took the drinks.
For today’s post, I bring you booze cubes. A mixed drink, perfectly frozen, that can be dissolved in a liquid of your choice.
I chose sparkling water so you could see how pretty the melting cocktail looks when served. Feel free to change things as you desire; additionally, I will be providing for extra tips in the instructions below.
Love tropical drinks? Then take a look at our tropical vodka punch. It’s a tropical party punch for a crowd.
Tropical Cocktail Booze Cubes Instructions:
First, grab all of your ingredients in advance to make the preparation process easier for you. Using a large pitcher or blender, combine the pineapple juice, coconut water, and rum.
You don’t have to mix everything in the tools I listed, as long as the container used can hold more then 30-ounces you should be good to go.
Next, pour the mixture into a large ice cube tray. Now, chances are you will have left-over tropical cocktail drink mix.
It’s okay, use it however you see fit. For example, pour it into another ice cube tray or into a popsicle mold to make boozy popsicles.
Moreover, you could get really creative and cook it down into a sweet dessert sauce for angel food or pound cake.
Last, place the ice cube tray into your freezer for at least 8-hours. Now, I recommend leaving the tropical cocktail booze cubes to freeze overnight.
Don’t pull them too early or you will have a sticky mess on your hands, literally. Once the cubes have frozen, drop 3 of them into 8-ounces of liquid (your choice) and serve them in stemless wine glasses, cocktail glasses, or even Collins’ glasses.
Garnish the drinks with fresh fruit like lime, lemons, or even strawberries.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces pineapple juice
- 12 ounces coconut water
- 6 ounces rum, light or coconut works best
- 32 ounces club soda, flavor of your choice

What a great way to essentially have pre-mixed cocktails ready to go! This sounds like a great way to avoid having someone man the bartending station at a BBQ so everyone can enjoy themselves.
Well, this sounds refreshing! I’ll be trying out on my next pool day. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Jessica! We’re glad you liked the post and hope you enjoy it. Have a lovely day 🙂
Love this idea. I’m pinning it. We’ve always frozen juice cubes for our Sangria. Why water down a perfectly good drink, right? Now, you can sip your drink, enjoy an adult beverage, and keep it tasting good. This recipe is a keeper!!
Thank you, Marisa! Kim and I are glad you like the idea. That was kind of my thought behind this recipe. Why water down a drink, when the melting ice can be your drink. We hope you make them some time and enjoy the cubes. Have a lovely day 🙂

No beach or tropical vacation for us in quite a while, but now thanks to these, we can take a quick trip anytime we want! What a perfect recipe!
Thank you, Lorie! I’m thrilled you liked the recipe. It’s a simple way to cool off while having a relaxing drink. Have a lovely day 🙂

What a fun way to fancy-up a drink! And I love the alternate suggestions you give for ways to use the mixture. Boozy popsicles are a perfect treat!
Thank you, Ashley! We try to give alternatives when it comes to alcoholic beverages. Not everyone likes to booze it up, but we all tasty drinks. So why not offer other ways for people to enjoy a similar recipe? Have a lovely day 🙂
I love making booze cubes but have never made it with rum or coconut water! I have both of those ingredients as well as the juice! I can’t wait to try your recipe and plunk them in my sparkling water!!
Thank you, Elaine! I tested these with vodka and you know how it is freezing alcohol. The rum worked perfectly due to it’s lower alcohol content. Plus, Kim and I prefer rum mixed drinks to bourbons and vodkas. We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did. Have a lovely Friday, Elaine 🙂
I love mushroom soup and I often make wild rice but I have yet to try rice in my soup. Sounds so good and looks so delish. Can’t wait to try this. Saving for later.
Thank you, Venna! The wild rice makes it a little heartier and filling. We hope you enjoy it and wish you a wonderful Friday 🙂

I think I need a booze in this scorching hot summer. Your Lemonade Tequila drink and Rum mixed drink and this Cocktail Booze will do the trick of cooling me down. Love this recipe.It is simple and cooling.
Thank you, Shobelyn! We love to share cool drinks in Summer and are thrilled you like the recipes. Have a lovely day 🙂
I bet this is super refreshing! It’s sunny and warm here today so I would love a glass of this while sitting on the deck 🙂
Thank you, Dawn! We love Summer drinks too and thought this would be a “cool,” twist on the usually Summer cocktail. We’re glad you liked the idea 🙂
