What Ingredients do you need to make a Ringo?

Malibu

Malibu is a coconut-flavoured rum liqueur with an alcoholic volume of 21%.

Malibu is made from coconut, fruits, and spices and, interestingly, was originally created to make it easier for bartenders to make the ever-popular Piña Colada.

Grenadine

Grenadine is a non-alcoholic bar syrup that’s traditionally used to give a cocktail a red or pink tint and is made from pomegranate.

What Equipment do you need to make a Ringo?

Highball Glass

Highball Glasses are the most common glasses in the cocktail world. You can put most cocktails in there from the Long Island Iced Tea to a Bay Breeze.

Bar Spoon

Bar Spoons are great for cocktails you’re supposed to stir, rather than shake in a cocktail shaker.

Sure, you can probably use any spoon to stir your drink but these bar spoons are the real deal. It’s the proper equipment to get the job right.

  • They’re long enough to get to the bottom of any cocktail to allow you to properly stir.
  • They have a twist spiral design that allows for a better grip.
  • They’re made out of stainless steel, so they’re durable, corrosion resistant, and easy to clean.
