A Goombay Smash cocktail reminds me of a Caribbean vacation. The taste of coconut and pineapple makes this a beach favorite cocktail of mine.
The sweet tastes of coconut, pineapple and oranges are blended with three different kinds of rum. It’s a favorite cocktail that my family makes every time July and August roll around.
We head to the Outer Banks of North Carolina every summer for vacation.
My folks live there and it is a great time to visit the grandparents and for my kids to get time in the sun and surf. We love spending time on the boogie boards, crabbing on the sound side and exploring the quaint shops of Duck, NC.
We just love it there because it is perfect for families and vacations.
If you ever wonder where to go for a beach vacation this is the perfect distance for a one day drive from Ohio or any other mid western state.
Now back to the Goombay Smash. Happy hour after spending time on the beach calls for a little bar tending from the head of the house.
My dad loves to whip these cocktails up for anyone willing to partake. He also make a mean Orange Hemingway.
I am also hoping we can make his ceviche because it is amazing and it is a must try if you’ve never tried it.
The Goombay Smash requires four different liquors and this fruity, sweet drink is the perfect recipe if you are looking for a cocktail punch recipe.
It’s great for parties and brunches. But be careful because they are easy to drink and
Not too syrupy, this cocktail has the right proportions of sweet and sour. If you love a rum cocktail you must give a Goombay Smash a try.
Save yourself a trip to the Bahamas and make one of these at home.

For everyday living, I like to prepare dishes that take little time, where the ingredients are easy to find at the local grocer and above all, taste good.
I just so happen to have all of the ingredients. I will make it tonight!
Awesome….enjoy it!
It really is something that reminds me of a beach vacation as well! Coconut, pineapple, and orange sounds very tasty and refreshing.
Thanks…so refreshing a a little bit like a beach getaway:)
It’s gotta be 5 o’clock somewhere! 😉

This sounds fantastic. We head to Sandestin, Florida for our beach vacation in the summer so I’ll be pinning this to try when we are down there in July!
The Goombay Smash is a great beach cocktail. Have a great vacation in Sandestin…those beaches are pristine.
Wow, does this look delicious and refreshing! My husband is from Puerto Rico, and tries to keep a couple types of rum in the house, so we’re definitely giving this a try soon!
The Goombay Smash is one of my favorite cocktails and it really does go down easy. Too easy:) Enjoy.
This sounds like the perfect summer drink! Have never been to the Outer Banks but would LOVe to go!
