There’s something about sipping a well-crafted cocktail with your toes in the sand that just ‘hits differently’. The perfect place for this is, of course, a Maldives private resort and here are some signature sips you will want to toast the sunset with.
Dhoni Tiki Punch
Named after the iconic local dhoni boat, this punch will have you floating in paradise… figuratively, of course! A blend of gold and dark rum mixed with mango purée, apple and lemon juice, plus a cheeky splash of spiced syrup gives this shareable cocktail both sweetness and a bit of kick. Look to enjoy it at a cocktail bar in Maldives as you go into full holiday mode!
Anantara Colada
Some resorts have invented their own signature cocktails made by resident mixologists, and these are not to be missed. The Anantara Colada at Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort is one such example made with local coconut and purée, along with rum, Malibu, blue curaçao, pineapple and lemon juice. It’s basically the island in a glass, best enjoyed with ocean views and zero responsibilities!
South Atoll Tiki
If you love rum, this tiki-style tropical treat is for you. A double punch of white and dark rum blends beautifully with Cointreau, citrus juices (like orange and pineapple), passion fruit and a touch of ginger for some zing. Fresh mint adds a cool, refreshing finish. It’s ‘sunshine with a straw’, perfect to soak up the island vibes and experience a carefree getaway!
Seabuckthorn
Bold, refreshing, and just a little bit ‘wild’, this ocean-inspired cocktail can pack a wonderful punch. With a base of smooth tequila, it mixes in seabuckthorn and kaffir lime for a zesty hit, sweet agave to round it out, and firewater to keep things exciting. It’s like a wave rolling over your taste buds, in the best possible way, making you come back for more!
