Sugar and spice and everything nice! The frozen Scrubslide will delight!
Craving something exotic and sweet? This fantastic creamy cocktail from the Caribbean is delicious with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. You can’t go wrong with the Scrubslide.
One sip and your imagination will take you away to the island of your dreams. Picture yourself in a lounge chair near the pool, with the breeze blowing through your hair and the sun’s warmth on your body. Delectable!

While checking out the British Virgin Islands, I stayed at the Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina. The charming resort had 52 guest accommodations, 10 luxury villas, and a 55-slip marina.
I headed to the pool bar late one morning and introduced myself to the bartender, Stacy. I wanted to try a few house specialties, so I ordered several drinks: the Scrubslide, Basil Shores, and Scrub Island Spiced Tea. The Scrubslide tastes like a milkshake but has a potent punch.

Ingredients you’ll need to make a Scrubslide

This Caribbean cocktail is made with Vodka, Spiced Rum, Kahlua, Disaronno, and cream of coconut. Absolut is a good, priced Vodka, but Tito’s and Ketel One are also popular. You can’t go wrong with Captain Morgan when it comes to Spiced Rum. I always buy Kahlua for the coffee-flavored liqueur, and my only choice for Amaretto: is Disaronno.
Need a great Cocktail Shaker but don’t know which one to buy? Look no further.
Most likely, I’ve been mixing cocktails since before you were born. I’ve had dozens of shakers, some good, some ok, some really bad. But these two shakers are the best! To read more about them click here.
Best Ever Economical Cocktail Shaker
Pros
- Great price
- It will hold 3 martinis and ice (24 oz).
- Easy on top and cap. The top slides into the base and has a rubber seal. There is rubber on the neck of the top to hold the cap in place.
- Does not leak.
- Measuring Cap.
- Stainless Steel.
- Dishwasher safe (top rack).
- Easily disassembles.
Cons
- Single wall shaker (cold to the touch).
Best Ever Deluxe Cocktail Shaker
Pros
- It will hold 3 martinis and ice (20 oz).
- Screw on cap and top.
- Shake with one hand (the lid will not pop off).
- Does not leak. There is a rubber gasket on the cap and top.
- Measuring Cap.
- Double-walled (not cold to the touch).
- Stainless Steel.
- Dishwasher Safe (top rack), but I hand wash mine due to the price.
Cons
- The top diameter is 10.5 inches (if you have arthritis in your hands, this may not be for you).
- Don’t over-tighten; it’s not necessary.
