Mixoloco - Mixology Tips:

• Rum Selection: Choose a light rum with a clean and smooth flavor profile for the best results in the Barracuda cocktail.

• Fresh Lime Juice: Using freshly squeezed lime juice is essential to achieve the vibrant citrus flavor that balances the sweetness of the pineapple juice and Galliano.

• Galliano Measurement: While Galliano adds unique herbal and vanilla notes to the Barracuda, be mindful not to overpower the other flavors. Stick to the recommended measurement to maintain balance in the cocktail.

• Ice Quality: Use fresh, high-quality ice cubes to ensure they don't dilute the drink too quickly. Large ice cubes are preferable as they melt more slowly.
