Maui Breeze - Frozen Rum, Guava & Amaretto Cocktail

Maui Breeze blends Light Rum, Amaretto, Orange Juice, Guava Juice, Lemon Juice, and ice into a smooth modern frozen cocktail. Rum gives the drink structure, guava defines the tropical profile, and lemon prevents the sweeter fruit and almond liqueur from becoming heavy.

Background

There is no canonical Maui Breeze specification. This recipe belongs to the modern frozen tropical-cocktail family rather than a documented tiki classic.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

• Light Rum - clean sugarcane base.
• Amaretto - almond-like sweetness.
• Orange Juice - soft citrus body.
• Guava Juice - tropical fruit character.
• Lemon Juice - fresh acidity.

Equipment

• Blender
• Jigger
• Hurricane Glass

Guava Leads, Amaretto Supports

The half-ounce amaretto adds depth without turning the drink nutty or dessert-like, while lemon sharpens the orange and guava.

Substitutions & Variations

• Use mango or passion-fruit juice instead of guava.
• Replace Light Rum with coconut rum for a sweeter variation.
• Use lime instead of lemon for a sharper finish.
• Blend with frozen tropical fruit to reduce plain-ice dilution.

Helpful Tips

• Chill the juices first.
• Start with less ice and add more only if needed.
• Blend just until smooth and slushy.
• Serve immediately after blending.
