A Caribbean take on the classic boilermaker, combining the crisp refreshment of cold lager with the light, tropical character of rum. Simple, bright, and laid-back, it’s a beer cocktail with a distinctly island-style twist.
Fill a beer glass with cold Corona. Add the shot of light rum directly into the beer and serve.
Served in a tall beer glass, with the rum blended directly into the lager for a lightly golden drink with subtle tropical nuances. No garnish.
Great with grilled seafood, jerk spices, fried snacks, and casual Caribbean dishes where crisp lager and mild rum sweetness offer balance.
Inspired by the American boilermaker tradition but adapted with Caribbean influence, replacing whiskey with rum and using a light, refreshing beer.
Perfect for beach parties, barbecues, casual gatherings, or whenever a simple and refreshing beer-based drink fits the mood.
Crisp and effervescent with subtle sweetness. The light rum adds a soft tropical warmth underneath the clean flavor of the lager.
Relaxed, unpretentious, and sunny — a drink with an easygoing island vibe.
Add lime juice for acidity, or replace light rum with coconut rum for a sweeter, more tropical profile.
