The Bob Marley cocktail is a vibrant, layered drink inspired by the colors of the Rastafarian flag: red, yellow, and green. Made with fruity liqueurs and rum, this cocktail is both visually stunning and delicious, perfect for tropical gatherings or reggae-themed parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 oz grenadine (for the red layer)
  • 1 oz banana liqueur (for the yellow layer)
  • 1 oz melon liqueur (for the green layer)
  • 1 oz light rum
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  • Create the red layer: Pour the grenadine into the bottom of a tall glass or hurricane glass. Add a few ice cubes to keep the layers distinct.
  • Add the yellow layer: In a separate glass, mix the banana liqueur with the light rum. Carefully pour this over the back of a spoon onto the red layer to create the yellow layer.
  • Finish with the green layer: Slowly pour the melon liqueur over the back of a spoon onto the yellow layer to create the green layer on top.
  • Serve: Garnish with a slice of lime or pineapple if desired, and enjoy this colorful cocktail immediately.

Notes

  • For an alcohol-free version, replace the grenadine, banana liqueur, and melon liqueur with fruit juices of similar colors (e.g., cranberry, pineapple, and kiwi juices).
  • Use a steady hand and pour each layer gently to keep them from mixing.
