Fool’s Gold
Fool’s Gold cocktail : Sip pine lime white rum through vanilla cream.
Fool’s Gold is a love child conceived the fateful evening Pina Colada, our exotic chanteuse, glanced up from her microphone to catch the lingering gaze of district larrikin, PineLime Splice.
The product is a light, vanilla crema floating over chilled pine lime tang.
Cream is created by enzymes in pineapple that foam when blended and take up the vanilla flavour.
You can drink Fool’s Gold all night. No dairy. No coconut cream. The perfect Pina Colada alternative.
Recipients: Guests who like a pina colada without the heavy cream.
Type: Frozen and blended

ANECDOTE
The idea started with the issue that as we age drinking more than one or two Pina Coladas in a night has become gastronomically difficult.
It wasn’t that usual issue with dairy. Pina Colada doesn’t contain dairy. It’s coconut cream that brings the velvety thickness as well as stomach thickness. We both adore coconut, in all it’s heady forms, but it is one of the great dividers. Plenty of our friends can’t deal with coconut.
On the other hand, we also really love pineapple, another prominent characteristic of Pina Colada, especially it’s foaming advantage.
After nearly a year of sporadic testing and adjusting, the above recipe won out as the easiest way to get a vanilla crema floating over a tangy pine lime liquid. And hello Fool’s Gold the perfect Pina Colada alternative.
