Orange Juice
Nominally Acidic
Orange juice is a vibrant, tangy cocktail mixer that pairs beautifully with almost any spirit. The secret to a bar-quality drink is using fresh, 100% juice without added sugars. Store-bought, from-concentrate varieties can taste flat or overly sweet, so always try to squeeze your own for the best results.

Hibiscus Syrup
Tart and sweet with a hint of floral essence. Hibiscus is a versatile syrup that adds that extra touch of flavor with a beautiful, deep pink color.
-
Pie Spice Syrup
Pie spice syrup (like pumpkin or apple pie syrup) adds rich, warm baking spices and sweetness to cocktails. It pairs beautifully with aged spirits like bourbon, rum, and brandy.
To Make Pie Spice Syrup:
2 Whole Cinnamon Sticks
1 Inch Ginger roughly chopped or sliced
1.5 tsp Allspice Berries
1 tsp Whole Cloves
.5 tsp Black Peppercorns
2/3 Cup (170 g) Demerara Sugar
1 Cup (250 g) Water
Combine all of the spices in a saucepan over medium heat and toast the spices until fragrant. Slowly add water and allow to come to a boil. Cover and allow to steep on low heat for 15 minutes. Strain into a heat-proof measuring cup, noting the amount of water, and add an equal part of demerara sugar (around 170g). Return the saucepan to medium-low heat and stir in the sugar until it dissolves and reaches a very low boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature before transferring to a syrup bottle. Store in the refrigerator for extended storage.
-
Vanilla Extract
White vanilla is chosen for its lack of color and overall smoother flavor. Pure Mexican vanilla is ideal to give the cocktail a strong vanilla flavor.
-
Arctic Altoids - Wintergreen
Altoids Arctic (often called "curiously cool") mints are a sugar-free line featuring an intense, icy hit of menthol combined with a smooth dissolve. A perennially chilly, aromatic, and slightly sweet herbal profile. It features a softer, more rounded wintergreen flavor than the peppermint, finishing with a lingering frosty coolness.
Cool Runnings Cocktails: Two Gold Medal-Worthy Drinks Inspired by Jamaica's Olympic Bobsled Team
Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, and get ready for cocktail time as Boozy Movies celebrates Disney's beloved underdog sports comedy Cool Runnings (1993) with two original cocktails inspired by Jamaica's tropical sunshine, Canada's frozen landscapes, and the unlikely Olympic journey that captured hearts around the world. First up is Cool Runnings, a vibrant Jamaican rum punch combining white rum, fresh orange juice, pineapple Chinola liqueur, hibiscus syrup, vanilla, and homemade pie spice syrup, finished with a powdered wintergreen mint rim that creates an unexpectedly icy sensation, taking your taste buds from the warmth of the Caribbean to the frosty slopes of Calgary. Next, Bobsled Time celebrates the international spirit of the Olympics with a warm, custard-like cocktail featuring Swiss génépi, German apple liqueur, dry Riesling, Canadian whisky, maple syrup, pineapple juice, and a whole egg inspired by Sanka's legendary lucky charm, creating a luxuriously creamy twist on the classic Tom and Jerry cocktail. Along the way, we explore the movie's uplifting themes of perseverance, friendship, and embracing your identity, share our favorite Winter Olympic events, and celebrate Hans Zimmer's Caribbean-inspired soundtrack alongside John Williams's iconic Olympic music. Whether you're hosting a Winter Olympics watch party, planning a nostalgic Disney movie marathon, or searching for creative Jamaican rum punch recipes and warm whisky cocktails, discover how these two deliciously contrasting drinks capture the humor, heart, and international camaraderie of Cool Runnings—because you don't need a bobsled, a gold medal, or even a lucky egg to enjoy a little Olympic spirit!
