The Callaloo Cooler is a spicy cherry bomb, kept in check with fresh lime juice and a bit of sparkling water. It’s the creation of Melissa Garcia at Smuggler’s Cove, and it’s an offbeat (though welcome) flavor profile for a tiki joint; cherry, baking spice, and oakwood dominate.
Garcia calls for a dash of Angostura bitters, but spiced cherry bitters would work well here if you’ve got ’em. If you don’t have plain seltzer or club soda, a mildly-flavored sparkling water (like, say, Lime LaCroix) would do alright here in a pinch, since the measure is fairly small.
