Bermuda Triangle

Pro tips

• Chill your glassware beforehand to keep the drink cold longer without over-diluting.
• Use fresh orange juice if possible—bottled juice can lean too sweet and mask the spiced rum's character.
• Pour the spirits first, then top with orange juice to control sweetness and proof to taste.
• Stir gently with ice for 10–15 seconds to chill without excessive dilution.

Substitutions

• Peach schnapps → Peach liqueur (richer, less sweet); adjust volume slightly
• Spiced rum → Dark rum or gold rum (lighter spice profile)
• Orange juice → Pineapple or mango juice (shifts flavor to different tropical notes)

Can I make a batch of Bermuda Triangle cocktails ahead of time?

Yes. Mix the peach schnapps, spiced rum, and orange juice in a pitcher, chill for up to 4 hours, and serve over ice. Stir before each pour.

What's the best spiced rum for this drink?

Choose a mid-range spiced rum with vanilla and warming spices (e.g., Captain Morgan, Bacardi Spiced). Avoid overproof varieties unless you prefer a stronger spirit.

Should I use fresh or bottled orange juice?

Fresh-squeezed orange juice will give brighter flavor and less sweetness. Bottled works if chilled and not overly sweetened.

Can I batch this cocktail for a party?

Yes. Multiply the recipe by the number of servings needed, mix in a pitcher, and let guests add ice to their glasses to avoid dilution.
